Is my Thai driver's license from thirty years ago still valid?
Thirty years ago I obtained my Thai drivers license. In those days no expiry date. Is it still valid, can I still use it ?
Answer summary
The original poster inquired about the validity of their Thai driver's license issued thirty years ago, which did not have an expiry date. Responses varied, with some confirming that the lifetime licenses are still valid, while another commenter advised to refer directly to Thai authorities for accurate information. However, recent changes in regulations were mentioned, indicating that current licenses need to be renewed every two years, with options for longer periods thereafter.

why would you risk asking people on here when you simply can go to thai authorities and get the correct information as everyone on every site is an expert but for something serious just go to thai authorities do it correctly!
