seems that thai accepts our malaysian driving license, although i can't find any black-and-white on this.

Making IDP is a breeze.

1. Pay online @ JPJ website (RM150)
2. bring the payment-receipt (or can email them at JPJ office on the spot) & a passport photo (white background! No more blue background) to JPJ office. There is a special counter for online-applications (no need to take or use number system).
3. Pass the passport-photo to the officer and wait for your name to be called.

Took me ~10 minutes in JPJ Petaling Jaya office today.
