You can own a car in your name without a work permit.

Driving on IDL is ok but you may have a problem with your insurer if you need to make a claim. Much safer to get a Thai license and not that difficult.

Thanks chaps.

I reckon I'll go get a Thai DL in Phuket Town.

I'll do some research on the forum too and read what others have asked previously.

Cheers.
