TLDR : Answer Summary
During the pandemic, the renewal of driving licenses in Thailand was temporarily suspended due to emergency decrees. However, it was announced that all driving licenses have been automatically extended, allowing individuals to continue using them without renewal. Additionally, those with international driving licenses can drive in Thailand until their expiration. For car registration, it is suggested to visit the local test station as services are available for tax and insurance renewals.
