Hi all!
Going for Thai driver's license soon. Got all the documents but was curious about the process on the day of obtaining the license.
I recall seeing a post where someone commented that you could watch a video or do some kind of test (not sure anymore what exactly), to save time on that day.
Did someone recently do this and would like to share more information about this? Sorry, quite vague but cannot recall exactly what it was. :)
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of obtaining a Thai driver's license varies by region but generally involves watching a video, taking reaction and eye tests, and passing a written test. Many commenters noted that those with an international driving permit (IDP) can bypass some requirements, while others may need to complete more extensive tests, especially if they are applying for the first time or if their previous Thai license has expired. It's recommended to book an appointment in advance and gather necessary documents like a medical certificate and a residency letter. Experiences shared by others suggest that the entire process can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the local requirements.
