I know but in practice it’s hard if they want a residence certificate and I don’t have one

Not the cheapest, but seems to be the most hassle free. Those calling it a scam due to the high cost don't seem to understand that not everyone is looking to everything as cheaply as possible!! I know it is around 400B to do it myself and upwards of 4000B to use an agent but if they get it done, I am happy to pay!

FirstNameLastName I’ve gone with cost for convenience, I haven’t got time to stand around all day. I’m aware they’re charging me about 20 times more, but I’d lose more than that if I took the day off work!

I don’t think it’s a scam, it’s just paying for the convenience. I’ve been offered 4500 for the residency permit for example but it’s the least effort one where I barely have to move so I’d go with that. I’m sure many are cheaper but I guess it’s the service I’m paying for.

Yes I do

I remember when I did it seven years ago they told me I couldn’t have it because I was colourblind and couldn’t see red and green (I am definitely not colourblind!) so I applied again the month later and suddenly I passed the colour blindness test and was given a license. I wasn’t aware that you could be cured of colour blindness 😂

Do you think the offices outside of Bangkok are easier? I am happy to travel if necessary.

I am happy to do it in person, but when I used to live here about seven years ago an agent came with me to do all the Thai things, and I just followed their instructions and did the various testing phases and then passed. I couldn’t have done it on my own because I didn’t speak any Thai at all. I’m not looking for a fraudulent license or for someone else to do it on my behalf, I just want the least hassle way of getting a Thai driving license even if that means simply being accompanied by an agent throughout the process. I have a full UK license so if that can simply be converted that would be ideal, or I can do the actual test properly at the DMV/DLT (with an agent helping me with the admin).
