Sharing as some people said you can’t get it unless you’ve done your first 90 day report.
This is my second visit in Thailand with my DTV, this time I’ve been here for 1 month, obtained my temp resident certificate 3 weeks ago which was needed to apply for this.
Managed to get my Thai Car and Bike licence today converted over from my UK. Note I don’t have a full bike licence for my UK licence but I do have a current CBT certificate which allows me to ride a 125cc where as my UK licence only allows a 50cc, not sure if that made a difference.
Apart from all the required paper work, I had to watch a 1 hour video and answer 4 questions at the end which were also asked during the video randomly.
The physical test if you can call it that was interesting to say the least lol and involved pressing the red/yellow/green button several times when the corresponding traffic light changed, and some make sift accelerate and stop peddles when the light changed on the second test.
TLDR : Answer Summary
