International drivers permit (IDP)

International Drivers Permit's are easy to obtain on line from your local Automobile Association (RAC, RACQ, NRMA, AAA etc) for a small fee.

An international driving permit in English is more recognised and accepted by police and civil service officials (than a driving licence in a foreign language). There are often police roadblocks and checkpoints in Hua Hin and around Thailand and some Thai Police will not accept the driving license from your home country even if you are a tourist and they can sometimes demand around B500-1,000 to let you carry on your journey. If you have an international driving permit and your photo licence from your home country there will be no arguments or negotiations !

Please beware of “INTERNATIONAL LICENCES” sold over the internet because many are FAKES. An IDP is a "permit", it is never referred to as a “licence".  Only purchase the genuine International Driving Permit from your local Automobile Club.
