@Ni**
That's what I'm doing at the moment. I spoke to the local IO about it and they said it was OK

@Hen***
New IDPs issued in UK for Thailand are the 1968 one, it changed in March, and are valid for 3 years

@J**
I've never done it this way locally, but have many times in BKK for CW.

I got a copy of the TM30 from reception in the condo, it had to be stamped and signed by the owner,+ a signed copy of his ID card.

But that may just be the BKK way, I found CW pretty unhelpful, to say the least

@John *******
Yes true, but towards the end of the period you go to DLT and renew it and you get 5 years

It's not so much the police that is the problem, as you say, money talks. It is the insurance company if you have an accident, if you are over 90 days the IDP will not be valid, so your UK licence on its own will not be valid either.

Could be costly in the event of a crash.

@Stephen ******
I was stopped in a police check in Roi Et a while sgo, they asked for licence and insurance, probably hoping for some T money. As soon as they saw both the licence and IDP they waved me on without bothering to look at either.

I was told (but don't know if it is correct) that it is per entry. I drove for a year on my last one as I was on an out of country non O and had to border bounce every 90 days.
