yes and if read in your booklet it also says to be aware and follow local guidelines of the country you are in, thai law accepts the IDP under tourism 90 days, past that they dont go get a license. Im in thailand and this was made very clear to me by the DLT when i asked :) im here with a student visa i got my license here in first month... i have and IDP :) First hand knowledge I Asked cause wahat inside the book said.

If you read the international agreement they all signed it was established for TOURISM ... staying past 30 days in any country is more than enough "tourism" thailalnd only accepts it under tourism not a 5 year visa :) even with a paid 1 year visa for tourism its till only good 90 days at a time with extension then you have to leave

if you are staying in thaialnd yiur IDP isnt honored past 90 days, the written test is easy and cheap. If you want to stay here for long period of time do it the right way or risk fines up to 2000 baht and or 1 month in jail. Thats what you face
