Who is the best firm to handle Thai Drivers Liscense for foreigners?
Answer summary
The best way for foreigners to obtain a Thai driver's license is typically by visiting the local Department of Land Transport (DLT) office and completing the required tests themselves. Collect necessary documents like a passport and visa copies, a medical certificate, and proof of residency. Many users recommend doing it personally for a smoother and cheaper experience, while noting that online training and appointments may facilitate the process. There are also warnings about the potential for scams if using third-party services.

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
