Although this thread is not the latest, it will within the first few post give an idea how much requirements can vary: I follow your link, congratulation KhunBENK for your clear and complete explanation for this yellow book +

One must be obtained within 3 months of taking out your insurance policy. Whereas a Thai ID card is worth zilch. No matter what a farang shows at a National park these days you won't be let in at the same rate as a Thai. Thailand is for Thais. Re the Thai driving license to obtain car insurance I would have thought that was obvious it is certainly necessary anywhere I have applied and is unrelated to ID cards

I don't think it's as obvious as me and you know it to be.
April 6, 20178 yr Okay if I fly in to suvarnibhumi go to avis and get my rental car with my US license Im not insured ??? Please quote the law or statue that says im not covered by thai insurance with a valid foreign drivers license.

Please quote the law or statue that says im not covered by thai insurance with a valid foreign drivers license. You are covered by the insurance. If you care to look at the small print on Thai insurances it tells you that you must obtain a Thai licence within 3 months of your arrival in Thailand. A 12 month International Licence is good for 3 months only. That is what I'm saying. Many farang who've been here donkeys years think their International Licence is acceptable indefinitely.
April 8, 20178 yr Private Hospital yesterday morning, twisted ankle. Notorious for the "passport' requirement.....I showed my Thai-Foreigner ID and within 30 minutes all set. It shows!!
