Friends, what should we do if we encounter police checking cars after renting a car in Phuket? Is it enough to just show him the driver's license and the translation ?

The last time I was stopped by the police for a check, they asked me where I was going and I said to eat. Then I looked at my GPS and it told me to keep going. I didn't have to show anything.

I was stopped by the police while riding a motorcycle in Chiang Mai, and after checking the driver's license and the translation of the license, they let us go.

Driving is fine. Riding a motorcycle and following the police to the police station to wait for the quotation.

Don't worry about the procedures being in order.

Could you guys please give me some advice? We are planning to go in a group of 7. After checking the available cars, if all 7 seats are occupied, it seems like there won't be much space left in the trunk. However, we are worried that with a C1 license, we might not be allowed to drive a 10-seater car. We would like to ask some friends who are familiar with this, is it okay to drive a 10-seater car with a C1 license? Or which 7-seater car has more space ? Thailand Q&A

I don't think there should be any problem renting a car in Thailand. I was fined twice, and the police didn't even ask for my driver's license; they just took my passport, noted the passport number, and collected the fine. They didn't check if I had a driver's license, and the translation documents I prepared were not used at all ? Thailand Q&A
