Can I transfer my American driver’s license to a Thai driver’s license?

Paul ********

well if you go to the one near Pattaya they give you a list of what you need because you need an appointment and a time allocated to do the test. That’s normally within the next few days. Well I did my 5 year 3 months ago.

Proof of address.

Medical certificate

IDP

Passport

Now it may be different in other offices.

Can I transfer my American driver’s license to a Thai driver’s license?

Paul ********

an IDP licence is only good to drive in Thailand for 3 months from arrival. It’s better to get one as you only take a colour and perception test at the office. Easier to do it. It also puts your full driving ability on it. So if you ride a big bike they give you that here.
