Thank you, everyone for sharing. The reason behind not wanting to take a test and go through the Thai process is time and energy that will be needed to go through everything in order to get a Thai driver's license. Sad to see there is no standardized process at each DLT and it's difficult to find helpful info from the official website. It will take a few people involved at DLT to get this done when you have children and you don't speak Thai. I found out, you can get an IDP from AAA while living abroad by applying online NOW! and they will ship it. Problem solved!
