sharecropper Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Can anyone tell me where I can get an International Driving Licence in Pattaya, and how much they cost (and how much hassle I can expect)? I have Thai and British licences, but need an International one for other countries. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharecropper Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 You cant,you have to go to chonburi. Thanks. In that case it would be more convenient for me to do it in Bangkok. Do you know if it is optional? Or does my residence dictate that I have to use Chonburi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Why Thailand insists on us Farangs having an IDP to drive in Thailand when there is no translation to Thai is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaParent Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The driving schools in Pattaya will get the IDP for you, presumably for a fee. There's on just up the road from Friendship heading towards Third that has a board up advertising their service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begsaresponse Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 You can go online to the A.A. or the R.A.C. in the UK print of the form for a International Driving Permit. Fill it in and send it to them by air mail with the fee enclosed. You will get the international Driving Permit you need for other countrys in around 10-12 days sent to you home address in Pattaya if that is where you are. begs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a ten year one for 5ooo baht. service good. take copy passport and driving licence and they send application off and it comes back in about 10days. very helpful there. Hope this helps.

Aren't they the dodgy ones that aren't legal in any country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
