Does having a Thai motorcycle license allow me to drive in Thailand if my travel insurance covers me based on my UK license?

Yes

I would be extremely careful when it comes to insurance companies. Their nature is too look to avoid or mitigate any claims. Check with the insurance company.

Ask the Insurance company not Facebook as Facebook won't pay your claim.

You have to ask your insurancecompagny allows driving on a Thai motorcycle license, they are the only ones who now your exact insurance terms.

You can not get a Thai motorcycle drivers license, unless staying her for a longer period, since there can be longer than a month, to book a test.

See “required documents” on picture.

99% are 150 cc now.

If you loose your uk driving license say for having too many points can you still drive there on your Thai license?

Yes, thai motorcycle licence covers it

Please consider circa 24,000 DEAD AND 700,000 + INJURED EVERY YEAR. My road alone 5 ambulances pass every day 🙁

If your Thai motorcycle license is recognised under Uk road laws.. meaning it gives you the legal right to ride a motorcycle in the Uk without restriction.. then it would be reasonable to assume your travel insurance would be valid in the event of an accident whilst riding a motorcycle in Thailand.. however this is not the case since there is a restriction in place that limits how long you could ride in the Uk with a Thai license before being compelled to take a Uk test and obtain a Uk license.. just as there is here in Thailand.. and even if said restriction did not apply.. i would say validity of cover would also depend upon when you obtained your Thai motorcycle license.. because you would have needed to hold it at the time of buying the travel insurance for the cover to be effective.. meaning if the motorcycle license was obtained afterwards.. and is dated after the acquisition of the insurance policy.. then the insurer is unlikely to extend coverage and could deny a claim.. so it would be unwise to rely upon it in these circumstances.. when all is said and done i do wonder why you need to lean on your travel insurance in this scenario anyway.. since hire bikes should come with insurance that you can usually top up for more complete cover.. and if you own a bike it should have insurance.. it's fairly inexpensive in Thailand.. and if you are looking to ride here extensively it makes sense to be properly covered under a Thai insurance policy.. if you were ever hospitalised as a result of a motorcycle accident the last thing you want is to be denied treatment because your travel insurance is not valid!

So are you legally allowed to drive a motorcycle in England? Pretty straightforward realy.

I would think you would only be covered by travel insurance if you are a tourist. If you are driving on a Thai license it you will probably not be considered a tourist.

Thailand doesn't recognise different cc categories, here you either have a full motorbike licence or you don't have a motorbike licence at all, so basically you can't legally ride a motorbike in Thailand and as you are not legal your insurance won't cover you.

International license from the post office £6 valid for a year

Thai driving licence IS valid in the UK for a limited amount of time been there done that.

Insurance still won't cover you you can get accident insurance from most banks for about 5k baht good for public hospitals only covers you for 150k plus your rego insurance is 30kbaht only covered if you have international driving permit or Thai licence to ride

Ask your insurance company. They wrote the policy of what they cover

Depends insurance company. Normally insurance accept local Thai driving license. Best option is your own country driving license and top of that international driving license. In your case it seems that you have to have Thai motorbike license for insurance. However, they have to confirm that it’s enough. My experience is that insurance companies try to find every holes to avoid paying.

-No license

-No Helmet

-Motorcycle not legal

-Driving under influence

Insurance companies have guys who only doing this job. Second step is GoFundMe app if something happens.

PS. 125 cc is enough everywhere if you don’t have a plan to have long trips in highways.

If you do not have a bike license/endorsement you may be ticketed. I think the easy way to think, if you do not have a ‘license’ you could have issues. If you can get an international permit from England for cars and/or bikes, you should be fine, if you can’t, you will be taking a risk.

Thailand doesn’t recognize your insurance as a license.

Yes

You won't get a Thai motorcycle licence unless you have UK motorbike licence legally ,I had to show the DLT on my UK licence that I was allowed to drive motorbike and car as the classes of the vehicle you are allowed to drive on the back of UK licence ,take the motorbike test here in Thailand only 1000 baht to do and 2 days training

A Thai diverse licence doesn't allow you to drive in UK, means you won't be covered by your insurance driving a bike in Thailand. Seems to be a typo or a sh*t company.

Good question
