I was not aware they weren't already available - Thailand ratified the 1968 Vienna treaty in May 2020. - So this is for people with a 5 yr Thai licence who wish to drive whilst abroad.

The OP is referring to IDPs issued under this convention. (Vienna 1968)

They last for 3 years so long as your licence is valid. Anyone from Europe who has an IDP will have this.

To get the Thai one, you will need a full 5 year Thai licence for the category(s) you intend to drive.

There seem to be some "good" fakes about - I saw a tHai IDP in England that was valid for 5 years - this is not possible, but the IDP itself looked 100% genuine.

Some countries, notably the US, haven't signed this treaty - the understanding is that Thailand still recognises IDPs issue under the Geneva treat of 1949 - otherwise some countries will have a problem

Tell the THai tax office that. How much tx have you paid in Thailand? “Taxable income” includes salaries, business income, rental income, pensions, and now foreign income brought into Thailand.

If you stay in Thailand for more than 180 days in a year, you are considered a tax resident and must report all income earned in Thailand and any foreign income brought into the country. Last year, the Thai Revenue Department announced new tax rules for both local and international income. If you’re a foreigner earning income in Thailand, these changes will affect you, so it’s important to understand the rules and their impact to avoid penalties, overpaying taxes, or legal consequences. Any income earned abroad after 2023 and transferred into Thailand will be taxed, no matter when it is brought in.
