Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could please help me out as I can't seem to find the right information online.

I've got a motorcycle licence from my homecountry and I intend to hire a scooter but I'd of course like to have all of my documents correct

My question is, if I bring my licence could I get an IDP while in Thailand?

Thanks!

Hello! Does anyone know if you can learn how to drive + get a driver's license in Chiang Mai if you have a DTV visa? Thank you!

Hi all! I have a driver’s license from my home country but I do not have an IDP (I forgot to get one before I left). From my understanding, I would’ve needed to have it before I entered Thailand. I saw a few posts stating you can drive without an IDP. Can someone share your experience with driving in Thailand. Is there another option if you don’t have an IDP? Thanks for your help! 😀

Hi folk, we will be moving to our house in Chiang Mai in January. I will be applying for a spouse visa for myself.

My question is actually about vehicle insurance, as we will be purchasing a car shortly after arriving. To purchase the car, it will obviously be in the bossladys name, however, she doesn't drive.

Will I be able to tax, and insure the vehicle on a first class policy despite the vehicle being registered to her ?

Heads up for anyone going to thailand (or anywhere else) that needs a IDP (international driving permit) as in the uk the post office doesn’t issue them any more as from 1st April 2024,. You now have to get them from a “paypoint” place,. Google it,.

Everything else post:

Wife bought car, and want to share the the driving but the thing is I never took license in my own country since I enjoyed the bus or taxi more relaxing and more easy.

So my question is;

So can I take license in Thailand without owning it in my own country? Can anyone guide us?

TIA 🙏
