"Note: Although International Driving Licences are valid for up to one year after arrival in Thailand, after three months many comprehensive insurance policies are made void if still driving on a foreign licence."

"The licence needs to have been issued by a country that has a treaty with the Thai government allowing the mutual acceptance of driving licences. Most countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA have this agreement with Thailand".

The last time I went with a TM30 form and ID copy at the immigration, they told me they don't need it anymore. They just asked the house registration and the ID card of the house owner and entered the data in their computer.

It's in French and Canadian laws as well.

David Broadfoot As per international acceptance, if you stay in a country more than 90 days, you are no more a tourist. If you are not a tourist, you're not supposed to drive with a foreign driving license. Of course, some countries are more lenient than others in that regard.

"An international driving permit (IDP), often (incorrectly) referred to as an international driving licence (IDL), is translation of a domestic driver licence that allows the holder to drive a private motor vehicle in any country or jurisdiction that recognises the document.

To be valid, the IDP must be accompanied by a valid driving licence issued in the applicant's country of residence."
