Can tourists obtain a driving license in Thailand?

The ability for tourists to obtain a driving license in Thailand varies by province. While some regions may require a long-term visa for a residence certificate, many do not have such strict requirements. Tourists can often utilize their home country driver's license along with an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is valid for up to 90 days. It's noted that in cities like Chiang Mai and Bangkok, some DLT offices may issue licenses to tourists who have a valid IDP, as long as certain conditions, like having sufficient time left on their visa stamp, are met.
