IDP international driving license / insurance question.

I'm a regular visitor to Sakon Nakhon and have a couple of people who kindly let me use their cars when I visit. I have an IDP with my full British driving license but am unsure if the owners insurance will cover me for the odd days that I borrow a car.

Later this year I'm moving to Thailand under a DTV visa an I'll probably take the Thai driving test as well to be sure.

Any advice or info appreciated.

Thanks :)

Hi there. Today I went to apply for a Thai Driving Licence with my partner in a town near our village in Petchabun. I have been using an Irish licence for a few weeks but wanted to get legal.

I was told I would have to go to the Irish embassy in Bangkok and get it translated into Thai and also get a letter saying it is a real licence.

I have never heard of anyone else wanting a Thai Licence from a Home Licence needing it all translated.

What are your experiences please?

Hi guys,

What's the process for getting a Thai drivers license? Easy or not? Just trying to 'tick things off' each time i visit prior to retirement. I'm located in Samut Sakon.

TIA

How difficult is it to get a Thai drivers license in Thailand? I see all these ads for agents who help with getting the license but I don’t know if I want/or need to pay an agent.

Fyi, I’ll be renting an apt so I’ll have a lease agreement first day outta ASQ.

And before I return back to US i’ll be getting married there.
