Answer summary
The user is seeking advice after failing the computer test while applying for a Thai driving license, despite holding a valid 15-year-old license from their home country. Comments suggest that a reciprocal agreement may allow conversion without testing, and obtaining an International Driving Permit (IDP) could facilitate the process. However, the user has already faced challenges with the test and is looking for solutions, including potentially hiring an agent or attending driving school for better preparation.

If you cannot pass test, then better you not drive. There are enough bad drivers on the road. Use Tuk Tuk or Songthu. 👍

Go back and retake the test. You can do it everyday until you pass. Also they have a book that they don't publish, but keep it at the test center and if you ask they will let you look at it before the test. I did because I was concerned about all the signage that is clearly way different than what is found in the US.

If you have a valid driver's license from your country and a valid international drivers permit from your country, then you don't need to pass any exams to convert your foreign license to a Thai license. Just show your country's license and IDP at the Department of Land Transport together with medical certificate and a residence certificate or work permit, and you can get your Thai license instantly.

@Pui ****
can medical certificate be from country of origin please 🙏Pui *****
@Kat *****
no, it can be done at any clinic or doctor in Thailand. Very basic form they fill out after just taking a look at you, and costs only a few hundred baht to get one.Kat ******
@Pui ****

If you already have license from home country, it depends if they are reciprocal with Thailand. Meaning no test needed. However, with me, I never had motorbike, so had to do all tests, like you. And yes. Failed. Other english speakers all failed too. Its like they use google translator! I finally joined a driving school. 2 day class. 1000 baht. They can give individual attention.

Can you share the name of the driving school? I just tried to take a class in the U.S. and it was terrible. One of the instructors was wonderful, but one was downright abusive which was too distracting. I walked out. I thought it was dangerous to deal with it.Sheikh *************
