Driving in Thailand
Getting and renewing a Thai driving licence as a foreigner, when an international permit is enough, what insurance a vehicle needs, and the fines and checkpoint campaigns that follow a holiday weekend. Rule changes are published in Thai first, so we cluster the Thai and English reporting into one story each and update several times a day.

Unpaid traffic fines block vehicle tax discs from August 1
From August 1, unpaid traffic fines will prevent motorists from receiving their annual vehicle tax disc, though tax payment will still be accepted. The measure applies only to tickets issued after that date, with fines recorded in the DLT system around 60–90 days later.
