You need to go to AA(Automobile Association. River Valley Road) and apply an International Driving Licence first.

Most Asian countries including Thailand and Singapore accept an International Drivers Permit which is used in conjunction with a valid license from your home country, China is one major exception. Here in Thailand you most likely could get by with your Singapore drivers license if pulled over for a ticket, but if you get in an accident, you better have an International Drivers Permit with you. They're easy enough to get, are cheap and don't require any tests, just a valid drivers license is all you need. Reputable car rental companies may also require that you have one. You can get one at an AA office in Singapore. http://www.drivers.com/article/937/

In singapore you can apply for a "Smart card" an international drivers license intended fo international license in asien countries only. I have one so I can go from Thailand to Laos. The smart card takes the place of my Thai drivers license. I am sure Singapore will be the same.

people always say you need an international drivers license, but i think thats all nonsense. i drive in Thailand all the time with nothing more than my California drivers license. i have been stopped by police 6 different times and not once have they ever asked me for any form of identification. not a drivers license, not a passport .... nothing. they tell me i was speeding and to give them 200 or 300 baht ($7-$10) ..... and im on my way. wish my tickets in the US were that cheap !!!!!!
