Why do I need a Thai driver’s license?
There are several reasons why you should have a Thai driving licence when you arrive in this country.
The most important reason for getting a Thai driving licence is to be sure your insurance stands up in case of an accident, even if you are fully insured, the insurance companies will not pay out unless you have a driving licence.
The second reason is to keep legal and make sure you will not be constantly fined when stopped by the police for not having a driving licence.
You can get entry to places that have double prices and pay as much as a Thai citizen.
National parks, amusement parks, and some zoos are a few examples of where there are usually double prices. You can also use the driver’s license as an ID to book rooms at different hotels.
How do I drive in Thailand?
Driving in Thailand can be done as long as you hold a valid driver’s license in English from your country of origin or a valid International driver’s license.
Traffic rules apply the same in Thailand, but the behavior of drivers is different, which is why it is very important to drive carefully and patiently and be patient.
How is the traffic in Thailand?
In the case of intersections without traffic lights, you can see that the normal traffic rules do not apply.
When there are certain traffic jams, some drivers are tempted to overtake the car column, passing the other lane going against the traffic direction
Is driving in Thailand dangerous?
If there is a column of cars behind a driver, he will not give priority to pedestrians because they want to cross the street.
The lane change has no real significance in Thailand traffic. Many drivers do not signal the crossing from one lane to the other.
Drive carefully and adapt to the rules of Thai traffic.
How should you drive on these roads?
Do not drive too fast and watch the traffic going on that day.
The roads in Thailand are quite good and comfortable. But some parts of the roads inside the city can be quite bad, with sudden and unexpected bumps or even holes in the roads.
How long will my Thai Driving Licence last?
When you first get your Thai driver’s license, it is valid for 2 years.
When the deadline approaches, J&E Concierge and you can get a Thai driver’s license, and it will be valid for 5 years.
