Thai Driver's License Translation for International Use
How to translate and certify your Thai driver's license for use abroad, plus the International Driving Permit (IDP) option.
Driving abroad with a Thai license usually requires either (a) a certified translation or (b) an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by the Department of Land Transport. ILC handles both.
