TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry is about the possibility of applying for a Thai driver's license in Bangkok amid reports of office closures. Comments indicate that as of mid-May 2021, the Department of Land Transport (DLT) was closed but is expected to reopen on June 1st. It is emphasized that foreigners must make appointments in person to apply for a new license.

Before wave 3 DLT was open, not sure if it's changed in the last two weeks though.

You do need to make an appointment for a new license, foriegners can't use the online system you need to go in person and make an appointment.
