Are International Driver Licenses accepted in Thailand and for how long?

Ekkehard *******

National driving licenses are not necessarily accepted in other countries. It depends on country of origin and on the foreign country where the national license is used.

How long is an International Driving Permit from the UK valid for in Thailand?

Ekkehard *******

I have to look at mine at home what the English title says. In German, it is called "Internationaler Führerschein" which translates to International driving license (Google Translate). And yes, of course it is a translation of the local driving licence detailing which classes of cars and motorbikes can be driven.

How long is an International Driving Permit from the UK valid for in Thailand?

Ekkehard *******

No, it is not issued by motoring clubs, but at the motor vehicle registration office. You have to bring your own pass photo and after the application, it will be produced for you to take with you the same day. It is like this in Germany.
