Obtaining a local drivers licence

[Bomber]

Hi All. We are moving to Hua Hin to retire shortly and will be applying for a local drivers license. I have been told that you need to obtain an international drivers license before coming in order to apply. Does any one know if this is correct or what the process is. Thanks

If your existing drivers license from your home country is in English language, then an International Driving Permit is not a prerequisite for applying for a Thai drivers license.

Thanks for the information which is most helpful. I think I will get an IDP just to be on the safe side. cheers
