Hi everyone

I’m currently applying for the DTV and trying to clarify driving regulations in Thailand.

As I don’t have the possibility to obtain an International Driving Permit from my home country in the short term, I started researching legal alternatives and found online references (including Wikipedia) about possible recognition of ASEAN driving licenses, specifically the Indonesian SIM.

I’m looking for real, first-hand experiences only:

– has anyone actually driven in Thailand with an Indonesian SIM?

– was it accepted during police checks or in case of an accident?

– from an insurance perspective, was it considered valid?

My goal is to stay fully legal and insured, not to rely on “it usually works”.

If you have concrete cases or official confirmations, I’d really appreciate your input 🙏

Thanks!

Can I drive a rented motorbike into Cambodia? I have a Philippine driving license that according to what I've read should be valid in all ASEAN countries, also according to the renter of the bike.

Thanks
