Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Afghanistan, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Afghanistan as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Afghanistan license
Afghanistan is party to the and Thailand to the 1949 Geneva Convention & 1968 Vienna Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges Thailand to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in Afghanistan.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
