TLDR : Answer Summary
Obtaining a Thai driver's license as a tourist is possible, but it varies by province and depends on specific requirements. Generally, you will need a health certificate, a residency certificate (which may require proving a longer stay in Thailand), and documentation such as your passport and visa. Some users have reported successfully getting licenses on tourist visas in various provinces, while others highlighted the need for a valid foreign driving license or an international driving permit (IDP). The process typically includes a written test, a practical driving test, and possibly some training videos. It's advisable to visit the local Department of Land Transportation to confirm the exact requirements and procedures specific to your situation.
