International License

[fred110]

I do not have a US motorbike license but I have one here in Thailand. Is it true I can get an international motorbike license using the Thai license, and drive legally in the US? I don't have to get the international in my home country?

Thanks.

Yep . Only available at Dept. of Transport in Bangkok (Morchit). You must be on a Non-Imm visa.

I'm in a similar situation like you and have had an IDL made from a Thai DL, no problem. You need to go to the motor office on the Rayong highway with your Thai DL and fill in a form. I think it cost about 1000 baht. It has to be made in BKK so take 2-3 weeks before it's ready. Easy peasy.

Thanks Phil. I'll go next week.

It will only be eligible for use for one year. After that you will have to get a US licence. Also, you need to check your insurance, as some companies don't recognise international licences.

I went to the License place this morning and they told me I have to go to BKK.
