What are the rules for using an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Thailand, particularly regarding the 90-day validity?

Jay *******

They seem to avoid any and all contact (or compliance) with any office or individual they can, related to government or municipal organisation. They are insanely superstitious, almost universally wholly uneducated and terrified of anything resembling authority. It is sometimes "trying" to say the least.

Can a foreigner drive a Saleng in Thailand with a motorcycle license?

Thanks, but it's not that, it's the insurance cover (or lack thereof) which concerns me.

Yeah. He's quite rural, same as I am (but mine not quite so as his area). There are kids as young as around eight driving the things, with younger passengers on board, around here.
