Never said I was the gatekeeper ffs! You're just another bad-tempered farang who lives in the world of entitlement. DTV criteria is clear. Grow up

@Stuart **********

Tourist visas (or entries) range from 60 days to 180 days

@Gregor *********

You are totally free to believe whatever you want, but I choose to believe whatever is factual. This 90-days nonsense gets thrown around in these groups all the time. Here's a policy for Thai insurance through AXA - one of the biggest. This policy mentions NOTHING about IDPs. So who do I choose to believe. A properly referenced reliable source or Gregor Huettner who cannot back up anything he is saying. I know who I'll go with 👍👍👍

@Greg **********

You have got a bad temper haven't you? Can you simply provide the link to the Thai Traffic Law which states 90 days please?

@Greg **********

Have you got a link to the treaty? I'd be most interested to see that. All I can find is this entry, which clearly states 12 months.

@Greg **********

There's nowhere in Thai Traffic Law which states 90 days. This is an internet myth. Thai Law states "temporary visitor" - so anyone on a tourism based visa

@Gregor *********

Actually you're wrong, but I'm not going to argue. I'll just politely request you show me where in Thailand Traffic Law there is a 90-day stipulation. The international treaty is definitely 12 months

@Brian *******

Not really. Insurance companies look only at the licence, not the IDP. I was with Allianz for over twenty years as an investigator (yeah I was one of those asses who denied claims!), and no insurance claim was ever denied because of IDP issues. The biggest problem in Thailand (and Indonesia) was people riding small motorcycles on car licences (because some countries allow this in their country). These were always denied.

@Gregor *********

I'm talking about the three year IDP. It's valid for 12 months from date of entry

@John *******

The three year IDP is valid for 12 months in Thailand from date of entry. The one year IDP may be 90 days
