Need to renew my Thai driver's license. I did the license with my Aussie passport, but I use my UK passport for this stay. Can I renew my Thai driver's license with a passport of different nationality?

Actually you cannot extend now as the authority is closed. There is a 3 month exception right now.

If you already have the driver's license and it expires. Do you have to physically do the driving test and pc test again or is there a service to just pay? To renew?

Not sure about the passport change issue, but I think you’ll find they aren’t doing renewals at the moment. A friend who tried recently was told to come back in February. Phuket office that is.
