Answer summary
To renew your Thai driver's license, visit the transportation office where you received your original license. You will need your passport, a residence certificate from immigration, a health certificate, and copies of your current license. It's recommended to renew a day after your license expires to get a longer validity period. Additionally, you should make an appointment through the DLT website or app and may need to watch a video and answer related questions.

Copies front and back of your 2 year along with everything else generally if you wait until it expires at least a day you’ll get 6 years
