TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, typically you need to apply for a driving license at the DLT corresponding to your residency certificate, but there are exceptions where you can obtain one from a different area, such as getting a license in Phang Nga with a certificate from Phuket.

That depends. Usually yes, but for example you can get a DL in Phang Nga with a certificate from Phuket. Other areas may be similar.
