Can I buy and ride a motorcycle in Thailand with an International Driving Permit if I enter as a tourist?

Nigel ********

For bike ownership, you need only your passport and certificate of residency. But.... at MTT in Bkk you can't get CoR until you've been in the Kingdom at least 90 days and done your first report in person. For license, an IDP is fine, infact your local license is often also ok.

, that's correct in my personal experience. MTT in Bkk require you've done your first 90 report before they'll issue a Certificate of Residency.
