ORIGINAL POSTERI had a Thai driving license while I was working in Thailand which expires today. I moved my work contract to HK in January but am in Thailand a lot. I have DTV and APEC. Am I able to renew my Thai driving license with these? Thanks for any advice.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can renew your Thai driving license even if you are currently working in Hong Kong. Many expats have successfully renewed their licenses while holding a DTV and APEC. The renewal period may vary, with some receiving a 5-year renewal and others only 2 years, depending on the office processing your renewal.

Yes but as you're on a DTV you will likely only get 2 years

Yes. Some have got a 5 year renewal and others 2 years but you can renew. The period comes down to the office renewing.
