How long can I drive in Thailand on my international driver's permit with an O retirement visa?

Check with your embassy or local tourist police office, don’t listen to keyboard warriors, they won’t be around if you have insurance issues or problems with police. Better still get a Thai license as soon as you can, then no debate.

Has the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for Thailand commenced?

Michael *******

Nothing yet, but only a matter of time many countries have introduced this year, and B300 tourist tax is dependent on it that’s a massive carrot.
