An IDP is not required in addition to a valid UK licence to apply for a Thai licence and to be exempted from certain parts of the process. Get a grip homer, I think the special needs thing was a joke, what's wrong with a little friendly banter? Actually, all you need "...to apply for a Thai licence..." [sic] is an application. You only need supporting documentation if you actually want your application approved... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that simply is not true. It will apparently be the OP's first Thai license, but the OP will not be "...getting a driving licence for the first time...".

Wouldn't you think they would get their website content checked by a native English speaker? Yes, it's a bit small to read but pasting; 'Department of land transport new Thai driving licence' into Google will take you straight to the relevant page. (See, I even made it easy to copy). ????

In American English, the noun is spelled the same as the verb—license. But in British English, the noun is spelled licence. All the while, the meaning stays the same—permission, a permit, a document that states you are qualified or allowed to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a whole other language. This morning I drove my car along the tarmac road road to the garage where I filled it up with petrol. I blew up the tyres, opened the bonnet and checked the oil. I bought some crisps, sweets and pop and put them in the boot. This morning I drove my auto along the blacktop to the gas station where I pumped gas. I pumped up the tyres, opened the hood and checked the oil. I bought some chips, candy and soda and put them in the trunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aware of that but, just because you've made a point, that doesn't preclude others from expressing their views about the clearly inaccurate information also, does it?
