What can I do if my national driver's license has expired but I have an international driver's license and need to drive in Thailand?

I used international dl to get my Thai dl, they did not ask for my aus dl at all...

Also they had this sign on the desk, perhaps it will help you...

You'll also need a medical certificate.

I studied the following website while waiting to take the test.

The Thai test is really simple. You turn up in your own car and have to show that you can park it and drive between some bollards. I watched it with around 40 other spectator two weeks ago and most never got out of first gear. The bike test is even easier and took around 1 minute of actual driving. There are plenty of online resources for checking out what they call the e-learning test which is the only part which could be a challenge - not because the questions are hard, but because the translation of them isn't always very clear.

I wouldn't recommend it, but I have seen ads about getting a license without a test.

Just sit the thai test , very simple a ten year old can pass it

Your consulate will not transfer because once your original license expires so does the international as its just a copy of what you are licensed to operate at home. Probably get away with showing it to police in Thailand as they don't know your original has expired if they pull you over, but international license only good for one year if issued in AU

Just do the same tests etc as the Thais, you are the same as them in this instance - you have no valid licence.

I gues you also need a drivers licence from your goverment and together with the international you can change it into a Thai.
