Can I get a Thai Drivers Licence by Presenting My Home Country Licence (car)

I'm ready to do my test for motorbike (no prior motorbike licence), have all the relevant docs to proceed with that - residence certificate, tm30, health certificate.

But I'm thinking I might as well get the car licence too. I do not have in date International Drivers Permit.

The Licence is Irish.

From my research (AI), it seems that I will be only required to sit the theory part of the testing which is quite favourable.

I'm interested to hear from any other folks on DTV (or other visas) that have managed to successfully get their Thai licence by presenting their home country licence.

I'm looking to buy a motorbike and rent cars at times for trips.

Today I entered my Visa DTV for the third time after the 180-day period expired. I flew to a neighboring country last night and returned this morning, right after changing the date to the next day. I completed the entry document without any problems and received a stamp for another 180 days. No questions or additional requests.

I am planning to move for a longer period of time to Thailand. I already got DTV visa (fairly simple process). Now I am looking for a decent health insurance. I don't have existing preconditions, and actually what would I need is the care "in case of sth" I could buy a policy from my home country but these are more like tourist policies, which is not what I need. I need a good insurance in case of sudden sickness (like flue, etc) or in case of required hospitalization, injuries ect. Can you recommend something?

For the DTV. What is the rate of income tax in thailand. I'm from Canada and it's approx 25%. Would I be paying dual taxes? Could someone with info that has been through this and can advise please messye me
