TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, if you're stopped by police for driving without a valid driver license, you can expect to face a fine. The maximum fine allowed by law is 1,000 baht, but actual spot fines can vary from 200 to 400 baht depending on the police station and specific circumstances. It's noted that while some officers might demand a bribe, it's recommended to refuse and ask for a ticket instead, which you can pay at the police station within a week.
Terary **********
When I lived in Bankok the bribe was 300-500 baht, usually 300. In Pattaya the bribe is 500 to 1000 baht. If I am not in a hurry, and they ask for 1000, I tell them to give me the ticket.. The ticket is usually 400 to 500 baht and the inconvenience of going to pay.

500 baht, If it goes in their pocket sometimes it doesn’t and they give you a receipt that you can use for the rest of the day. I’ve been asked for 1000 because half was going in their pocket and the other half to the station, told them don’t worry I don’t need a receipt just take the 500.

fine would only be around 500, but if you plan to do this, make sure you have your dash cam running always, because accidents are common here and the locals rarely admit fault. if it comes down to your word against their word, you are less likely to be believed if driving without a license.

 I agree with Garrett on this, it is not true. I experienced myself that for having an accident it is not important if you have al license or not if it is not your fault. If it is not your fault, you will only get the ususal fine. But they did not even ask for my license as it was clear to them it was not my fault.

 Well, then you don't understand the law - which is a good thing. The PD in-car laptop can identify IF you actually have a valid license (but forgot to bring it along). Then, no arrest. But if U R NOT a licensed driver in the U.S. - well, U likely have some explaining to do to avoid arrest. Remember, most ( if not all U.S. police have a great deal of "discretion".

Getting into an accident (or traffic violation) in any foreign country is a bad experience. Even if you were innocent, you will be guilty. No insurance will cover you. Depending where you are in Asia, it’s best to negotiate a deal with the policeman that stopped you and pay on the spot. Question: did you loose your drivers license, or did it expire, or you don’t have one?

And Michael and Makhulu it’s really not helpful to be this rude.

 I had a bad accident driving to Korat when I rearended a car that braked for no reason in fast lane.

Cops witnessed what happened.

Thought I was going to get screwed.

Police first dealt with thai guy.

The Thai driver got 4,000 in fines. And he was asking for compensation.

Policeman got his number and told him to drive away.

I hung around 20 minutes cops not talking to me.

Finally one of the cops asked me why I am still waiting.

I asked if I am in trouble.

"No....you good....you go!"

 I had a similar experience. On motorbike. Car pulled out in front of traffic (moving about 50 km/h), car in front of me braked hard, I clipped their rear bumper and side fender and ended up in a ditch next to the car that pulled out, and had stopped, with just a few scratches. Police witnessed the whole thing. Was prepared for the worse. After talking with both drivers....they asked where I lived and was I ok. They said the two car insurances would take care of the damage, "no pay". Not sure what would have transpired if police were not there. Miracles do happen.

 Make sure to get a motorcycle endorsement on your US license if you don't have one already. With the IDP from AAA, go to any land transport office in Thailand. It takes about an hour, cost less than 300 baht, and you've got one for 2 years.

Maximum fine allowed by law is 1000 baht. Spot fine varies by police station from 200-400 baht. If they request more money say no, you want the ticket. You have 7 days to go pay it at the police station.

Note: The law prior to last year authorized the police to hold a license until you went to the police station and paid the fine. An amendment was past in 2019 prohibiting that anymore, however most reports I've seen indicate police will still hold your license or ID card until the fine is paid.
