Is there anything I should do *before* leaving Canada that will make the process of getting a Thai drivers license any easier?
Answer summary
Before leaving Canada, ensure you understand that when entering Thailand, you may be required to present cash (20,000 THB or its equivalent) as proof of funds. It's advisable to bring this amount in cash, as immigration officers favor liquid assets over bank statements or credit cards. Although most travelers report not being asked for this proof, having it readily available can help in case an officer chooses to inquire. Other considerations may include ensuring your visa is in order and familiarizing yourself with local regulations regarding driving and licensing.
