Deadcert Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Recently returned from Hua Hin where I have heard that you need an international licence to drive in Thailand. Does anyone know if this is true and if so how you get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totster Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 If you are staying short term an International driving license is needed. This is issued in your home country. In the UK for instance it is issued by the AA and The RAC... Some links.. DVLA - International Driving Permit http://idl-iaa.com/ If you are staying long term you can apply for a Thai License http://www.thaivisa.com/320.0.html http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14157 totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper1 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 the only time u need a driving licence is if u have an accident, other than that u will have to pay the police bribes when they stop u, last time i was stopped going thru bkk on the expressway he said i was doing 120 km, i knew that was a lie, for the whole ride i didnt go under 160km, i tried to keep at a nice steady pace of 180km, but i still had to pay the bribe money, bl.oody thieving gi.ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Great advice from Snapper1 he is always advocating breaking the law. One of those Rumsuk cheap charlies from Cha Am. Glad he was banned hope the Admins etc take note of his IP address and ban him permanently. Sda really only friend he had was deported for working illegally. Makes out he is popular on another site by replying to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabana Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I cleared with my insurance company to use my international license and not a Thai one even though i was long term for driving purposes but not long term for visa purposes at the time (and so rejected by the officer as 'unable to apply for a thai license because u are a 'tourist'), so the term 'long term' doesnt always (as always) add up.

up2you Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 dr pat pong. Sorry to inform you but, I do not associate with Khun Stuart. I know many people in Cha-Am and Huahin. I would never call them associates. You on the other hand make quite a few missguided assumptions about people. You're generally wrong! I was stating the FACTS. up2you.
