TLDR : Answer Summary

Many respondents emphasize that foreigners can successfully obtain a Thai driver's license by going through the Department of Land Transport (DLT) and handling the process themselves. Important steps include preparing required documents, such as a medical certificate and proof of residence. Some commenters suggest that it's straightforward and inexpensive, taking about 2 hours and costing around 200 baht. Self-study for the driving test is recommended, with suggestions on doing online training and booking appointments online.

Go to your local DLT office and take the test yourself, TBH, if you can't pass the Thai driving test you should not be allowed anywhere near a motor vehicle.

You will need a health certificate plus a certificate of residence from immigration

Process was smooth. Convert or renew driverse license (all copies duplicated as doing car+motorcycle at the same time):

- Do the online training and bring the QR code as proof of completion.

- Do online appointment and bring the QR for your booking

- Copy of passport (info page + visa page)

- Copy of current licenses

- Copy of passport

- Medical certificate

(and bring originals of everything, of course)

The ministry of the land transport does the best job. Get prepared all required documents. Here I kindly refer to any of the search systems. Good luck

Pay a Thai to take the test on the phone app. Get the qr code to verify you passed the test. Take a eye couple tests, a foot reaction test, pay 200 baht and drive home
