Chinese motorcycle license in Thailand

Hello people,

I am new to this forum, nice to get to know you :)

My nationality is dutch and i am currently living and working in Shanghai with residence permit and Z visa.

I have a question.

Currently i do not have a motorcycle license.

But i am planning on making a motorcycle trip in Thailand, I would like to drive a tour from Chiang Rai to Pattaya.

I am wondering, if i get a motorcyle license in China, will i be allowed to use this in Thailand?

Greetings,

Betrman

Hi Betrman
In Chiang rai now as I post this reply , rode my Chinese plated bike from Hainan to Chiang rai at "all" borders my Chinese DL was ok ? But at the Thailand borders was asked For a IDP but when I explained I an not a tourist in china but have a resident permit all was
Ok if you have both IDP and a Chinese DL then you have ALL boxes ticked
But you can get away with just a Chinese DL

OK

Thank you very much for your reply but its still not very clear for me.

What does IDP mean? Identification papers? International drivers papers?

International Driving Permit (IDP)
Is it clear now !!!

Yes!!!

Thank you!!!
