Hello everyone!

I just arrived in Bangkok, Thailand using my DTV visa. I’m looking to get a Thai driver’s license.

Does anyone know the steps or how to start the process? Appreciate any help!

Hi I have a 2 years driving license in Thai.

May I know what do I need to upgrade to 5 years license and then, to 1 year IDP? Also, can you please advise how long it will take for each process? Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm from America and am planning to be in Thailand and drive from Bangkok to Phuket from 16th of December to 4th January and i would like to ask, if it's feasible to do the trip and still enjoy it.

How is the weather? Is the journey still worth it even in cold or hot?

Please come with other ideas, that could give us a better journey for my first visiting in Thailand. Anyone that can assist me can DM for more informations about Thailand.

Thank you much for your advise.

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! 😀
