RedReding Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Hi all, I'm a foreigner who got a Lao driving license for both car and motorbike and from what I read online, i'm allowed to use it to drive freely in Thailand thanks to the bilateral agreements between both countries. Does anyone have direct experience they can relate ? My other question is : can I convert my Lao driving license into a Thai one without taking additional tests ?

paahlman Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Not sure, but i have heard the question before and checked.. I think you need an IDP attached to the driving licence no matter what country it is from. About converting it is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Lao is an ASEAN country along with Thailand the license is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 a) yes, the license is valid all over ASEAN countries b) no, welcome to go through the full nine yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedReding Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 That's great. Almost no point for getting a Thai License in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
