I think it is beautiful

It's not legally valid anywhere if its not an official legal document, issued at the correct source (in the same country as your license).

Important to keep in mind that even if these real-looking documents do pass a police stop test, it won't be legal if involved in an accident.

Better to get a real IDP or get a Thai license. The process for a Thai license is straightforward and cheap.

Both are correct but it's often a generational/regional thing. FYI, in case you didn't realise, รถพ่วงข้าง is "รถพ่วง(vehicle trailer)", "ข้าง(side)".

I lost mine a few months ago.

1: Go to the DLT with passport/ID.

2: Tell the info desk. (You will be directed to the correct booth).

3: Give passport to the booth (oh and you will need to get photocopies of your passport and (I think) your visa page. can't recall exactly, sorry - but easy to do at the DLT. Photocopy place is on same floor). Hand in passport and photocopies, then wait.

4: get called to confirm documents and pay (nominal amount. Like 100 Baht or so)

5: wait in queue for new photo

6: get photo and then license will be handed to you within minutes.

- Best to go early imo.

(No police report or other documents required)

FYI. - this is the system in Chiang Mai btw. I can't speak for other areas but can only assume the same process.

Ignore those scams. Go through places like Honda Riding Park or do it yourself (simple process). Follow the steps outlined in the guide (also has practice mock online tests to help you pass your theory test): Riding in Thailand -

@Ruth ******

I can answer it. You need a motorcycle license from your home country to convert to a motorcycle license in Thailand - or, you can take the Thai riding test, which isnt hard.

@Chris ***************

correct. It's not actually a legal document. It's been going around for a few years, but not actually legal (sorry Luiza - not sure who gave you that advice). Might work in rural areas where they don't know the difference though, but possibly an issue when it comes to insurance payouts, if needed? Not sure though.

If you want to convert a Thai license to international, then follow the steps in this guide, it has all the info:
