Number seven, tricycle license, commonly known as a TukTuk license. Has anyone ever obtained one of these themselves? What’s the requirements (other than obvious visa/live here stuff)?

Did both mine myself the real thai way;

Visa exemption, residence certificate and doctor’s statement.

Theoretical test 2 x 50 questions and minimum 45 correct answers. Practical test car and motorcycle at a track in the backyard.

Several tests regarding sight and reaction.

just to double check guys we are talking about tricycle/tuk tuk Licence?

I am wanting to know specific information related to obtaining tuk tuk Licence.

Sorry same her, but according to some thai people drivers license for car is sufficient. If you don’t have car, you’ll need to take an additional license for tricycle. Regular motorcycle is not sufficient. I can’t verify this any further.

Did you need a tricycle? (tuk tuk) for the practical test or can you use a car/motorcycle in replacement of one.

I personally have a 5 year car/motorcycle Licence already, my only concern is the driving test really as I don’t own a tuktuk and would have to hire one

Wow never realised a different license was required
