Hey if you are planning to come here and operate a any vehicle PLEASE make sure you read the traffic laws where you can and cant park - thai police at least in chiang mai have been ramping up parking enforcement to the point ive seen videos of tourist posting

"Since when did you make a law that you cant park next to red and white stripes"

"when were they going to let people know"

Its called driving class - they tell you all that - so many bikes have been locked up and cars for double parking - they been hitting locals as well. Seen it all day today - so if you are coming even as a tourist and you plan to rent car or motorbike please know the rules before you operate - if you dont please dont make a video or posts complaining that you were not informed of the driving rules here - thats your responsibility to find out.

I am busy organisimg an international driving permit(IDP). Do the Thai traffic officers require the hard copy of the IDP or will a digital copy suffice?

Home country driving license from South Africa.

TIA

Driving a Saleng.

Can anyone advise me whether a foreigner obtaining a regular Thai motorcycle driving licence qualifies the individual to drive a saleng?

Reason I ask is that I know in Thailand it’s the vehicle, rather than the driver, which is insured.

Consequently, I know I can drive a borrowed car with a Thai driving licence (or IDP for the first three months) and I can drive a borrowed motorcycle with a Thai motorcycle licence.

I’m told a foreigner cannot drive a Songthaew (Baht-Bus) and am wondering if the same applies to a saleng (as well as a tuk-tuk).

I have access to cars, motorcycles and a saleng owned by the Thai extended family I am staying with.

Any experienced advice would be gratefully received.

I have been offered the use of GF's brother in laws spare car next time I'm in the country, not sure if I should take them up on the offer because of the insurance implications, I'm told that the car is insured but what happens if I have an accident (I'm aware that it will be my fault) ? So any advice would be appreciated.

Hi guys. I am English but resident in Spain I’m off to samui for a month and driving my friends car, is my Spanish license ok

Does anyone know the process on how to change the address in my car blue book? I assume Department of transportation in my province but are there forms, documents required.. payments?

In the past I have received a speeding ticket in the mail and I did pay it at the post office. However, I have moved and I did update Immigration of my new address but not sure if they are linked to department of transportation.

Away from visa advice. Nearly had a motor accident today! And not for the first time! Roundabouts in Thailand what is the law about who has right of way? Is there one?
