you're right, safety first ❤️ You don't wanna ride like many here on the road 😁🫣 Not many things are different at the end (Well accept riding on the left, takes some time to get used to). For the specific road signs and rules you can find good reads / websites online explaining it into English. DLT has the "online course" you have to follow, check it out. Some infos in those videos.

you don't even have to do the written test. With an IDP or English language driver's license : only do the reaction tests. Really easy.

1. Get medical certificate for 100-200b

2. Get Certificate of Residence from immigration (valid 30days)

3. Go to your local DLT with you American driver's licence.

4. Pass reaction test.

5. Take a picture and pay 205b

6. Walk out with your Thai licence

If you fail, they let you retry directly (at least where I went). But I failed anyway with on the second try. The difficulty is not really about the rules, it's mostly about the horrendous translation to English. I would re "study" by remembering the answers they want and leaving out the understanding 🤣

The good thing is, if you already have a driver's license from your home country and an IDP, you can just apply for the thai car license pretty easily. I was just lacking the class A motorbike licence from my home country reason why I had to pass the quizz (but hey, I still got my Thai driving licence 🤣). Will retry the quizz soon to ride a motorbike.

Good luck with the stupid test. Some questions are retarded and others are making no sense (right answer considered wrong 🤣).

By the way, did you know that only having one arm doesn't disqualify you from driving , and that Monks don't have to wear a Helmet 🫣? (Those infos might save you 2 points)

@Graham *****

maybe for motorbike🤷🏼‍♂️

I've been two times to SCB without any COR from immigration but my wedding certificate. Headquarters handled the approvals both times, took a couple of days. Third time the branch processed immediately.

I don't know if it's a common policy of SCB that headquarters is approving foreigners application requests, but it seems more professional than bullshit refusals from branches.

And expiration date was 12years ago 🤣🤣

@Wayne ********

And people explained to him also 😁

@Crispus ********

🤡

It's always possible, but it's up to the individual branch how they handle things. I opened mine at SCB within 1 hour but I had previously a savings and fixed deposit account already which both needed approval by HQ (a few days wait).

I wouldn't park much money on a FC account here, interests are laughable.
