What do you need to legally ride a 125cc scooter in Thailand?

Folks. Please remember it is up to the police officer that pulls you over. If you just arrived then you can probably use for 2 months. However, after 2 months you will need a Thai license. Again, every province has different rules or interpret the law differently. I have Canadian bike with IDP and have been charged in CNX. 500 bahts if they actually write you a ticket. 1000 if they strong arm you. Fact is when they take your keys you are at their mercy. I would suggest to anyone just go get a Thai one. Very easy. But like I said every province seems to make up their own rules. And for 200 Bahts it costs the keys stay me and I ride away.

Licence to ride at home so your UK Bike Licence and and international driving permit. The permit costs about the same as your first fine and your travel insurances will cover you

Balls

You need a motorcycle endorsement in your home country and a international drivers license and your good to go

OMG

I have both in the UK, so I went to the DLT with all the forms now have two driving licences for each one which is handy as I keep each one with each car/bike

All the info is here, James:

You need a stiff upper lip. And sharp eyes believe me…….

Gotta love these new questions on this page. Amazing that no one has asked that before. If only there was a way to search the topics in this group. 🤔

Go to the postoffice in the UK and get a international driving permit. It's good for a year. £10

You need a UK or Thai motorbike license. A full UK driving license wont cut it.

International motorcycle license. That, or 500 baht every time you get caught.

I showed a full uk license when I got stopped this year, I still got a fine and was told I needed an IDP which I’ve just got from the post office for £5:50 so hopefully no further fines 🤔

Need a Motorcycle license in your home country, or expect a ticket or you can offer to pay it in cash to the officer without wasting the officers pen ink😬

If your IDP shows you are entitled to drive a motorbike your good to go for 3 months then you need to obtain a Thai license. If it doesn't you have to take a test in Thailand

Just get the Thai bike licence through agent 1500 bht roughly all in. They take you get it for you all you do is press a pedal on red then you pass your test. They take you home job done.

In Thailand only one driver license for all the bike 50cc or 1800cc all the same. As a tourist is okay but if you are in Thailand for more than 3 months you’ll need a thai driver license.

You need a full UK motorcycle license

As long as the UK licence includes motorcycle, no problem. No such thing as an international licence. There's an IDP which simply confirms which classes of vehicle you can drive/ride. No idea where CBT comes into it

For any insurance to cover you, accident insurance, or any health insurance, you must have a valid motorcycle license if you are driving. That is pretty standard everywhere in the world in countries requiring a motorcycle license. Basically if you get in an accident, and end up in the hospital, it will be you paying cash to get out of the hospital, as insurance isn't covering anything because you didn't have a valid license from anywhere. Places will rent you motorbikes, but none of them sell insurance to go with the rental.

IDP is easy and cheap to obtain in the UK. RAC always stamp the motorcycle endorsement on the IDP, and the UK license appears to have motorbikes due to the confusing moped and motortrike endorsements on the back.

If you have a full UK car license, you can get both car and bike licenses in Thailand without a test, which is also very cheap and easy (and kinda cool to have).

InsureAndGo Lite can give you and annual travel insurance for about £27 (for single trips up to 90 days), and add motorbike (up to 125cx) cover for about another £10.

Make sure you have insurance that specifically mentions riding motorbikes on international licences. You also need a bike licence in your home country, if you don't and ride a motorcycle in Thailand nothing you have means anything.

12 pack

No. You need a Thai motorcycle license. Easy to get. Quick test and off you go. Or 2000 bahts for 1 day course and you get. But do you just want the license or do you want to actually learn?

Bike licence & IDL is needed to be legal & insured

You need a motorbike licence. They are seperate from cars in Thailand.

Motorbike licens and international one.. if you Crasch without its going to be expensive

Wallet full of hundreds and a helmet

You need a motorbike license, not a car licence and there is no such thing as an international driving licence, it’s a permit, and to drive on a non ASEAN licence you need one of those too. As per the previous comment just pay the fine, if/ when it happens.

I think you would need a full UK motorcycle along with an IDP which is stamped up for motorcycle. And as I understand it this would be valid for 90 days after which you would need a Thai licence.

Just pay the fine 😊
