Travellers report that car rental companies in Krabi and Phuket often accept a regular foreign driving licence and allow you to “just turn up.” However, Thai law technically requires an International Driving Permit, and not having one can be an issue if stopped by police or in an accident. For safety and insurance validity, it is advisable to obtain an IDP even if rental agencies do not insist on it.
