Lazinonthebeach Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'll be visiting my home country soon where my drivers license has expired. I have a 5-year Thai license issued on Koh Samui. Can I get an International license on the island or do I have to go to Surat Thani or Bangkok to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 A/ There is no such thing as an International Driving License. There is only an International Driving Permit and it supplement's your driving license B/ Where is your home country? In most countries the full Thai license is accepted anyway, so you probably don't need an IDP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 The UK does accept a full Thai driving licence.. I have always been able to hire cars from airports using my Thai DL. For an International permit, you have to go to Suratthani. When I went for mine, for hiring a car in Portugal, it was a quick, easy process once you got to the correct floor. The guard on duty spoke no English. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 An international drivers permit - and yes, some countries calls it a "drivers license", including my home country - is only a translation of your drivers license. If the domestic drivers license got latin characters and English text, it's accepted in many, if not most countries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
