IDP is of no relevance anyway (when converting a UK licence)... the DLT accept a UK driving licence and will transfer whatever endorsements there are (i.e. car / motorcycle) and clearly don’t pay much attention... they see the silhouette of a motorcycle on the endorsements side (as posted above) and thats enough....  Its a mistake on their (DLT’s) part, but I’m not complaining. 

Yeah, that's what i did with my UK license, basically just winged it, don't have a big bike license in uk but pointed to the silhouette you mention.

 

This is in rural Thailand where they're unfamiliar with foreign licenses, plus like you say i don't think they really cared.

My Thai license expired while I was away. Now I need an agent who will get me over this hurdle.

Pretty sure I spotted a small light that came on when the sticks were aligned......

Took a friend to get his thai licence in bkk, he had an international from the uk, when i seen a lady at one counter talking to him i thought maybe he had forgotten something, when i asked he said she asked why he did,nt get his motorcycle licence also, he came away with a thai car and motorcycle licence and told me he had never ridden anything with two wheels apart from a bicycle before,

it seems they seen the small picture of a moped on his uk licence saying he would be allowed to ride a moped with 50cc  and assumed it meant motorcycle.

Slimier in uk to my mate 40 + years ago.

His sent his paper work in for a full motor cycle license,  he just passed his test and got a full bike and car license back !!!!!!! never driven a car in his life.

I did sent B2500. They sent a picture of a licence with my pic on, then they asked for another B4990, that would be returned along with the licence on 3 working days. Need less to say I didn't send the B4990. But it down to experience. Called the DLT department, they told that no way could a third party get me a GENUINE Thai Driver's license without the person coming to the office himself.

I was being sarcastic as I knew it was a a scam. 35 years driving here is a lot of renewals. Next time believe what seasoned vets tell you. Sorry you lost some money.

Do you need to ask really. I suggest they are fake or it is simply a scam advert.
