ORIGINAL POSTER
Seeing some mixed messages about getting a Thai drivers license for a scooter.

Is it possible on a tourist visa or visa exemption?

Is a certificate of residence required or will a utility bill suffice? Is the utility bill used to obtain a cert of residence?

I see that a Thai license isn't required until after 90 days, but I don't have a IDP or home country motorcycle license.

Is it possible to get an IDP without going back to my home country (US)? I'd travel to any nearby country for this, if that makes sense.
