TLDR : Answer Summary
You can exchange your foreign driver's license for a Thai license at any DLT (Department of Land Transport) in Thailand without needing to take a full class or extensive testing. However, you will need to watch a brief 1-hour instructional video, answer a few simple questions, and take a basic color blind test.
