Do we need an international driving licence in Thailand?

Yes, you need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to legally drive in Thailand. While your Indian driving licence is valid, Thai law requires it to be accompanied by a valid IDP. Carrying both documents ensures compliance with local traffic regulations and is often required by vehicle rental agencies. Indian citizens can apply for an IDP through their respective Regional Transport Office (RTO) or the official Parivahan Sewa portal before traveling. Always carry your original Indian licence alongside the IDP to avoid penalties or legal issues.
