My Thai wife will receive a pension when I die, this is not from the state, that dies with me, it is a private pension

Here's a wee warning for all those talking about benefit fraud.

The government has recently got itself a new piece of software that traels social media looking for anything that indicates any sort of benefit fraud. It is then flagged up for investigation.

So, be careful of what you say on here.

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

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

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

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.
