Is an international driving license accepted in Thailand or is it often considered invalid?
Ronald *********
I take an IDP from the UK every year for my 3 month stay, perfectly legal in Thailand.

Have been stopped a few times at road checks, some police don't understand it and pass it on to a more senior officer.

But always wave me on, absolutely no problem.

Does a 30-day extension on a Thai tourist visa start from the original visa's expiry date or the extension stamp date?

You will finish up with 90 days, so yes it is added on to your last day of original visa.
