What is the process for converting a German driver's license to a Thai one, and does the German embassy play a role in this?

Applying for a Thai drivers license:

Where and who should translate my German drivers license? The embassy writes:

A conversion of a German driver's license into a Thai one can be applied for in Thailand. Detailed information on the application process can be obtained from the Department of Land Transport.

Does this mean the German embassy has no role in this process?

Hey everyone!

Could someone brief me on the procedure of getting a drivers license in Bangkok? I do have a German and a Chinese one, but would like to do it here from scratch, as mine don’t contain the motorcycle license.

//Thai drivers license//

Aloha!

Have to renew my drivers license - was wondering if anyone knows if the translation of my german license by the consulate from last year would still be valid 🤔

Do I need to get the certificate of the DOC again?

Do I need to go through this idiot test again?

Anything else I have to keep in mind..any pointers?!

Thanks 🙃
