After 90 days in Thailand, you are expected to have a Thai driving licence - you need one for each type of vehicle.

Some countries have licences recognised by the authorities in Thailand and you can avoid taking the whole test. THe written tests can be translated.

at first you get a temporary licence which I think lasts for 2 years - after that you can renew every 5 years.

If after 90 continuous days you rely on you IDP, you may find that you are no longer covered by Thai insurance.

Burak Kurt I've not done a DTV. If you already have the visa you are allowed multiple entries....maxumum stay of 180 days? So that would require just keavu g and returning to re-activate your visa. As I understand it, if you hold a DTV, you can leave and re-enter Thailand as many times as you want without having to apply for a re-entry permit.

If you haven't got a DTV yet, the best way is to get one online - it requires proof of funds. - at least 500,000 Thai Baht

Ok..if you need a visa, then you must go to the consulate or Embassy that issues them. E.g Laos, Vientiane or Savannakhet. Or Cambodia or Penang or even Singapore.

Otherwise just pick a border, stay in the other place overnight and come back

Don't forget it isn't a race, you can take your time ymto visit the other country

Where are you in Thailand? What type of visa? ..or is it just 60 day visa free entry?

When did you read that? You need to supply a reference for that....

Thaiger are not very reliable - but the ETA was scheduled for June 2025, but then with the implementation of TDAC, this seems to have been put back. It's bad enough the Thai authorities implementing one digital system but to do two simultaneously seems rather foolhardy!
