Can the first 2 year driver license for either car or motorbike be used only in Thailand, or does it still work in all the ASEAN member countries?

I researched this quite thorough some years ago when i was stuck with a 2 year license due to visa issues. Never found a 100% clear answer.

 

My impression was however:

While you can't get an IDP on the 2 year one, I found it was still good for use in countries that doesn't require an IDP as long as your license is in English. Including the EU and Most of North America.

 

I also successfully rented cars in Europe at the time on a 2 year Thai license.

I'm German with residency in Thailand and rented cars in The Netherlands, Germany, the UK and in Florida with my 5-year-licence (plastic card) without any problems at all.
