Temporary Car Insurance for a Thai in UK

[Pragmatic]

A Thai license is written in English so a IDP isn't required. I hope that helps?

That's only in reference to travel in the US.

I have no address in the UK so I cannot drive on my UK license. I drive rental cars using my Thai license, an IDP isn't required.

I always have an International Driving Permit ( issued in my home country) when I am in Thailand. It is only valid as long as my home country driving licence is valid.

I believe that according to Thai motor insurance an International Driving Permit is only acceptable for 3 months. Thereafter a Thai license must be obtained to validate the insurance. This has been discussed on TD before.

never had a problem always use my uk licence since 2002 and when i have been to the police to ask about a Thai one was told on 3 times going there no problem uk very good no need Thai licence.

The police don't run the insurance companies. Go ask your insures. It has been discussed on this forum and if I remember correctly the conclusion was a Thai licence must be obtained within 3 months of entry into the Kingdom. I'll try and find the link.

Yeah found it. I'm correct.

Note: Although International Driving Licences are valid for up to one year after arrival in Thailand, after three months many comprehensive insurance policies are made void if still driving on a foreign licence.

Here confirmation to the above.

Can I use my foreign driving license in Thailand?
The police will under no circumstances accept this and also some insurance companies don't accept it. In almost every insurance policy it says that the driver must hold a valid driver's license. And a valid driver's license is a Thai or an international one (Actually, if you stay longer than 3 consecutive months in Thailand the international license should be converted into a Thai driving license).
