Today went to DLT Chatuchak in Bangkok, wasn't sure if I will get 2 or 5 years driving licence today. Staff needed to discuss a little bit and they apologise but they can give me only 2 years driving licence. They say a few days ago they would gave me 5 years. But they said that "some regulations changed". If other DLTs still issue 5 years DL for DTV holders maybe it is worth to have trip there.
TLDR : Answer Summary
During a visit to DLT Chatuchak in Bangkok, I received only a 2-year driving license instead of a 5-year one due to recent regulatory changes. The staff mentioned that although other DLT offices might still issue 5-year licenses for DTV holders, the current policy being implemented at this location only allows for a 2-year license.
