Is an international driving license accepted in Thailand or is it often considered invalid?

Matthew **********

Just did a quick search. Seems you don’t have a valid drivers license. If you live in Thailand, get a local license. If you are visiting, get one through AAA next trip. In the meantime, pay the fine, make the problem go away. Best of luck to you, Brian.

20 years into marriage, I trust my wife. It's an interesting hypothetical argument and I'm sure it applies to the relationships of some of the posters here.

Agreed. It's quite obvious which posters have direct knowledge with property transactions. I'm taking notes and will run what I pick up here past a lawyer this week. It's very helpful hearing from people who have gone through a similar process as foreigners protecting their real estate investment.

That's very interesting and a little disappointing. I'll double check with our attorney this week in regard to how a trust works in Thailand. Even if it does not apply to my situation, It will be good to know the function of a trust here. Thanks for your input.
