Can I obtain an International Driving Permit for both car and motorcycle with a UK full license and provisional 125cc in Thailand?

The discussion revolves around the question of whether one can obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) for both car and motorcycle with a UK full license and a provisional 125cc in Thailand and Vietnam. It is clarified that an IDP requires a full motorcycle license to be valid for riding a motorcycle. Many commenters indicate that Thailand does not recognize provisional licenses for motorcycle operation. An IDP for a car can be obtained, but individuals planning to ride a motorcycle need a full motorcycle license from their home country or they must pass a Thai motorcycle test. Additionally, there are specific requirements for driving in Vietnam, with emphasis on obtaining the correct type of IDP according to local regulations. Overall, while renting scooters is common without a proper license, legal implications such as fines and insurance issues are significant considerations.
