Opinions?
I have Thai car drivers license and Indonesian Motorcycle License.
I understand there’s a ASEAN agreement about driving licenses. Would it be a waste of energy and money to convert my Indo motorcycle license to a Thai license, and just do it when i need to renew my Thai car driver license instead? (In about two years)
The Indonesian motorcycle License is valid for 5 years and needs legal translation and embassy stamp for conversion to Thai.
Any risks about insurance etc im not considering regarding using the Indonesian motorcycle license in Thailand ?
I typically only drive motorcycle on short vacations to the islands. For the rest i use car.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is considering whether to convert their Indonesian motorcycle license to a Thai license now or wait until renewing their Thai car license in about two years. They noted the ASEAN agreement regarding driving licenses, which may simplify the process. The Indonesian license requires legal translation and an embassy stamp for conversion. Concerns include potential insurance issues and legal driving capability in Thailand, especially as they only use a motorcycle for short vacations.
