roo860 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Did mine 2 weeks ago, All done online, provided passport number so photo can be used, took 5 days to receive new license, renewed it 1 month early as I will be back in Thailand when it expires.

taiping Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Is it LEGAL to drive in Thailand using a UK driving licence? I thought that only an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country is legal, or a Thai driving licence, Important consideration regarding insurance.

You can drive up to 90 days on home license, R.A.C "advises" to have an IDP to back it up in LOS... If you hire or buy a car, one should clarify with the insurance co. that using your home license is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
