Does anyone have any experience driving in UK with their Thai driving license? do they accept the Thai license at hire companies etc?  Do they accept English people holding a Thai license to drive in UK?

Lastly, is there a requirement for a International driving license to go with the Thai license? and if so, how is a international license to go with the Thai license obtained?

yes, i do.

 

And yes, it's accepted.

No, an IDP is not needed.  As long as your license is a five year one you'll be fine.

No problem hiring and driving on a Thai license and no, an IDP is not required.

Hire companies prefer their customers to use a non-British licence as it is easier for them to process.

Yes - I've also used my Thai Driving License.  Not sure my UK one is valid anymore as I don't have a UK address.  No need for an IDP.

Must be a full 5-year Thai DL. The 2-year one is the same as a provisional license and will not be accepted.
