Without an international driving permit, driving with a domestic driver's license is equivalent to driving without a license.

No problem, I've driven 3,000 kilometers without being stopped by the police. You should be more careful with motorcycles. The chances of being checked are much higher.

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
