If your domestic driver's license is not in English, one of the documents below is required together with your original driver's license:
- an International Driving Permit (IDP) / International Driver's License (IDL).
- an official translation in English or Thai.
Drivers holding a valid driver's license of the 10 ASEAN member countries can use their national driver's license in the nine other countries without the need to obtain an IDP. These countries are Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines.
UK drivers with the new-style photo card license will need both the paper counterpart and photo card. UK license holders who have a paper license only will also need an official photo for identification.
Age Requirement.
The minimum age generally to rent a vehicle in Thailand is 21 years old. If you're 21-25, you are likely to have to pay a young driver fee. If you're 65 or older, you may have to pay a senior driver fee. But the age restrictions may vary by different car categories and different car hire companies.
*Important Note: Each car rental company has its own requirements. Please check Terms and Conditions of your hire car during the booking process.

Posts: 219Are you guys ever scared being caught on camera by people who post videos on youtube, I. E. , King Epic, Thailand Red, AZIATKA, and etc? Some of these guys post people negotiating with girls or post videos of girls with their clients walking down the street. How do the pro women feel about these videos released on youtube? How are these guys able to get away with it? I don't think they can hide their camera that much.

I don't understand why you not need a IDP? Don't the rules apply to you? Never heard that someone can drive legally in Thailand without IDP and use their national driving license.

Posts: 8Don't give up on the Oily Massage Girls
I've read a lot of negative comments on the oily massage parlours, but thought I'd share my experience in case it inspires others to keep looking, as I believe there are still a few diamonds in the rough left to be discovered in the Phrom Phong area. That's where I met my dream massage girl anyway. Age 29, with the tightest most amazing figure imaginable with a great ass and perfect 36 c boobs. She has had no baby, so no baby damage, and had excellent English having lived abroad and travelled extensively, and the best personality you could hope for. Ticked all the boxes for me. She stayed with me for the full 3 nights and 4 days providing an absolute GFE in every interpretation of the meaning, both in the room and out on the town. Money wasn't discussed at all although I gave her what I think was more than fair when I left. She entertainment me 24 hrs a day taking me around various food places, bars and clubs and was the horniest little thing imaginable with the best bedroom skills I have ever known, always begging for sex which we had at least 7 or 8 times a day. Although I paid for the majority of our expenses out and about she also bought rounds of drinks, even paid for a massage for us both. She introduced me to her friends, took me to her apartment and to the airport at the end of my stay. All in all a great find and was well worth my trip to the massage parlour. I understand this is not what everyone is looking for during their stay but it could not have turned out any better for me. Happy hunting.

There are separate licenses for cars and motor bikes.
If your home license qualifies driving a car and a motor cycle you do not have go through the practical test to get either.
In my situation my license didn't cover a bike so I had to do the practical test, involves weaving in and out between barriers and driving on an elevated narrow straight stretch of pavement. Before that you sit in front of a pc screen and answer 50 questions on the rules of the road and need 45 correct answers to pass.
To get the car license even if no practical road test is needed there are three rudimentary tests set up inside the building.
Testing your breaking response.
Testing your visual ability to align moving objects.
Testing your peripheral vision to distinguish colors.
As far as I could see nobody ever fails these.
The whole process takes maybe 3 to 4 hours depending on the queue size.
Not much English spoken so better if you know a local who has the time to go with you.
The costs are minimal.
As with much of what goes here licensing requirements when driving are inconsistent. Before I got my local licenses I have been stopped more than once and told my home country license is insufficient without an international driving permit and that I needed to pay a "fine".
I always carry and show a copy of my passport, license and relevant car or bike documentation. I explain politely with a smile that a senior police officer good friend of mine in Thonglor police station told me I don't need an international driving permit and then drive on without any repercussions.
As to driving in Thailand by car or bike patience concentration and a relaxed confidence is essential to get there safely.
In Bangkok specifically you've got to be chilled especially on a bike more so during rush hours madness.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's fun but on a good day it can be a buzz weaving in and out getting to the front of the lineup and then opening up the throttle on a clear stretch ahead.

Yes it's hot and you need rain gear, but you get used to it.
GPS? Not a problem. Plenty of phone mounts for motorbikes.
It's actually been great not having to own one over the past 20 years. It's one of the true benefits of living in a city. When I want to get out of Bkk and road trip, I just rent. And that's pretty cheap. But in the city? Way too much off a hassle.

2. Don't cross off the Soi 24 & 26 Oily massage parlors as long as you are still considering a joint like Eden Club. That doesn't make much sense to me unless looks don't matter to you. IMHO Soi 24/Soi 26 massage parlors offer up the best afternoon opportunities with doable girls. But to each his own. Do what you like. Post a report afterwards.

There might be some low profile exceptions, but from what I experienced the lower Suk bars (ie NEP and Soi 4 venues) were all shuttered all day. And being a 'dry' day basically no outlets sell or serve alcohol including 7-11, grocery stores, restaurants, or hotel bars. Plan accordingly.
