Halfaboy Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 This site may help: https://www.dlt.go.th/en/renew-license/ However, from what I understand is that you need to make 'booking' by phone call. The problem is that they don't pick up the phone (see reviews). Have fun... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPGuy Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 A family member obtained this at the DLT in Chonburi. Seemingly the Banglamung location does not offer that service. This was a few years back so may have changed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banglay Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 I've already got a full 5yrs Thai driving license Car & bike I want a international driving license (Proof) so I can go touring in neighboring countries .... Better to have one when getting stopped rather than paying tea/coffee money at every stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post soisanuk Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 The Pattaya City Expat's Club has a webpage with information about getting an International Driving Permit (it not a driving license) based on your Thai 5 year license(s). The nearest location for those in Pattaya is at the Chonburi DLT (the Banglamung DLT near the Regent's School does not provide them). Visit the PCEC's website at www.pcec.club - across the top hover your mouse over the Living in Thailand topic, then hover it over Driving Vehicles in the drop down menu - and another drop down menu will have the link to the IDP page - it is the second item listed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles45 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 ' I want a international driving license (Proof) so I can go touring in neighboring countries ' As a member of ASEAN, Thailand has a recipricol arrangement with other ASEAN countries and you can use your Thai licence there, for 90 days as I recall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in the Pattaya area can I get an International driving license for my Thai licenses?. There are a lot of websites that will print up a thing called an International driving license the problem is that they are all fakes so you will pay for your International driving license then if stopped for a license check get a fine, as a minimum, because you don’t have a valid license. Don’t get confused by the wording on the DLT website they provide IDPs not IDLs However a majority of countries don’t require an International Driving Permit if your license has English on it, the Thai licenses do. I have driven in local countries and the U.K. with my Thai license without an IDP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is wrong. You must hold a 5 year license to qualify to get an IDP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropposurfer Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 To be clear it is NOT an International Drivers LICENSE. It is an International Driving PERMIT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this message, I contacted the PCEC and they have now updated the page to clearly show a 5 year Thai driving license is required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
