Not necessarily, no.

Thus their opinion is most likely wrong.

Wring or right is irrelevant.  Their counsel is wise and the details of the  law ate irrelevant to good practice.

There is no effective limit by law. Voluntary insurance policies might of course have their own rules.

What does this mean?  Having some insurance is not voluntary, and having only what is legally required is unwise.  The details of the law are irrelevant , so why keep telling us about it?

this is just wrong information shared by people who don't know any better.

Or wise counsel from those who know better than you?  Maybe.

You must (should) get a Thai license after three months driving on your UK or other license.

Or before then, even!  I doubt there is anything magic about the three months period.

once summed everything up (now the 1968 IDP part is of course outdated, but I can't update the topic): https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1039100-international-driving-permit/

In that thread you find the Thai law, and both treaties, there is no 90 day limit.

But that thread also contains contrary opinions.  In practice no one should rely on non-temporary use of only a foreign licence plus any type of IDP: you know it makes sense!

most countries will not allow their citizens, or people with permanent residency in this country, to use a foreign driving license.

Not even temporarily?  I doubt this very much.

There is no 60 or 90 day limit for using an IDP in Thailand

Yes there is an effective limit on this, if only due to lack of insurance.

A Tambon is a local governmental unit in Thailand. Below district (amphoe) and province (changwat), they form the third administrative subdivision level.

I just discovered that there is both an amphoe and a tambon, both named Bang Lamung.    No wonder I am confused!  Life down here in Sattahip is far simpler.

Are you sure about this date?  It is not normal here to use this date format.

AMPHOE (district)
TAMBON (subdistrict)

I thought that an AMPHOE is subsidiary to a TAMBON.

Did I get it the wrong way round?

Please can you explain this further.  I had thought there was no such problem.

It sounds more like it is over 50% useful.  Very high compared with most helpers we use every day.

Seeing as this thread is about covid then what was the point of that comment.

Correctness is to the point.  Maybe I misunderstood what was written.
