Resident letter for who? For what reason?
Explain yourself better. Please put some effort to write more when posting.
We're here to help.

If you mean for a foreigner,you should talk with your embassy in Bangkok and they can issue a "resident letter" saying you have a permanent address in Thailand.

Hi Brian & welcome1
If your talking about a Residence Letter to prove where your living, Kap Cheung Immigration Office provide them free of charge(I always give them a small tip though). You will need to take your passport and if you are living in your wives house,take her too plus her ID card and Tabien Baan(house Book). If in rented accomodation, I would assume your rental agreement plus copy Tabien Baan, but i am not 100% sure about that option.
Half way between Buriram and Kap Cheung(highway 214) is Gary's Bar&Restaurant,Presat. As a customer, I'd highly recommend the Ferang Food & Minimart.

Wish the mail was that quick in Canada...
By the way yes there was a 500 baht fee for the letter and 50 baht for mailing...worked great for me...
They were very nice and polite at the immagration and nice to look at also.....

The 500 baht charge for a residence certificate is way over the top,,,,,but as you say there are a couple of very pretty ladies working in there!!!!!!!!!!!

By licence do you mean driving licence?
I got my letter from Buriram Police Station (June 2009).Free except 100 baht for "photocopies and Coffees". Why is everyone talking about Immigration?
Sorry. Bit confused.

What is the purpose of obtaining a yellow book. Is it a foreign owners certificate or a proof of residence certificate? Is it something one needs for retirement visa?
Thanks in advance.

It may accepted (in some cases) as proof of residence, when buying a motorcycle or car in your own name or applying for a driving license or when trying to open a bank account. I say "in some cases" as I have read elsewhere of it not being acceptable, depending on the agency handling the transaction. A yellow book is not proof of ownership of anything. It is not "required" for a retirement visa but it "may" be accepted as proof of residence. The requirements for getting the yellow book vary from amphur to amphur. One of the requirements of my amphur in Nongki want a letter from my embassy stating that I am living at my house in Nongki. I didn't bother getting one as I only need to prove where I live when I apply for an extension of stay (I use a copy of wifes blue book & id card) and when I apply for 5 year driving license renewals (certificate of residence from immigration).
