Anyone here recently got their 5 years Thai license? Earlier it was simple to convert but am not sure of the recent changes.

I have a full UK driving licence, but I didn’t get an International Driving Permit from a UK Post Office before coming to Thailand. Since I’m already here, what’s the best and most reliable way for me to obtain an IDP now? Are there any legitimate options available while abroad, or do I need to follow a specific process to get one issued from the UK?

Hey, I was living in Vietnam and I got a vietnamese motorbike drivers license.

Does anyone know if it’s valid in Thailand (due to ASEAN agreements)?
