Many thanks for your input 👍

Hi. Some questions about vehicle ownership and stuff.

I want to come to Thailand on a retirement visa. I’m from the U.K. Will I be able to drive and own a car there? Do I need a Thai driving license? Is car ownership expensive? How much is insurance? I have a full motorcycle license in the U.K. are there any issues with riding there? Except that statistically it’s insanely dangerous 🤷‍♂️

I have a lot of friends here in vietnam, is it possible to drive a Thai registered car into Vietnam for a visit?

Thank you for your help and patience. I’m sure I’m not the first to ask this 🙏🙏

Off topic , but hopefully somebody knows

I have a uk driving licence and a international driving licence ( has 2 years on it ) . Is that enough to be able to drive a motorcycle/ scooter in Thailand . I obtained this on the frequent possibility of being stopped a fined every 5 min in Pattaya , a helpful policeman told me this was sufficient. However I was then told , no he's wrong , you need a thai licence ( by an agent )surprisingly . Is he right ?
