International Driving License

[Becker]

Can I get this at the "Transport Office" where I get my Thai DL by the Regents International School?

If you are not Thai then I believe you get it from your original country where your license was issued....

Yes you can but I believe only if you have a five years Thai license. Not for a 1 year one. Oh and it is a permit not a license and cannot be used alone, technically.

Not correct. You can get one issued in Thailand based on your 5 year Thai DL.

Great stuff, although I am lost as to what purpose you need one for.
Is it to use your Thai license outside of Thailand instead of your home country license?

I see 2 main reasons why to ask for one:

1. You not have an license , and have only made driver license in Thailand.
2. To ask for a International Driver License from your Home country is complicated or even impossible as you not register there anymore.

It's all very simple. I live in Thailand and have a Thai DL. I will soon go to another Asian country on holiday where I will rent a car. According to what I've found on the net an International DL is required.

There, mystery solved.

No, I wasn't. Seems like I don't need an IDP anyway - thanks

A 5-year Thai licence is valid in the UK, so I'm there are other countries

I was referring to the ASEAN countries, some people make the mistake that it is valid in all of them.
