Bigz Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Thailand is not what you think is. You get stopped occasionally and asked to produce a valid driving licence. If you haven't got one you'll have a problem like in any civilised country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujayujay Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 A Friend of mine had a Traffic accident last Year, not his fault but without Thai DL. After have payed a hefti Fine he was immediately deportet and blacklistet. He can do a request for a Visa at earliest 2026. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't deported/blacklisted for a traffic accident, especially after paying the fine. Fake story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. I have found that, even with the same insurer in the same area different assessors who arrive on the scene have different requirements. It is often stated that, in Thailand, the insurance is assessed against the vehicle not the driver which is why Thai vehicle owners often let anyone get behind the wheel of their car. My insurance has two named drivers, me and my wife. The real test I think is if the police decide it is your fault entirely and you end up with a liability to pay one or more third parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andycoops Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I have a Thai car license but not one for a motorcycle. Living in the Isaan bush I only use the Yamaha for short trips and never into the local town, 13 Kms away. You never see plod in the villages and most local people don't have a licence or anything else required to be on a motorcycle. If you live in town you definitely need one.
