And at Chiang Mai Immigration they require the photos to be landscape mode.

At the Honda Safety Riding Park on the 118 Road on the way to Doi Saket.

Previous excellent post on the subject: Marlyn Culton

I did my training at Honda Safety since I had never riden before. It was great. I learned so much and got on the road so quickly.

You’ll need the pre riding course (2 days), then the basic course is (1 day), then the test is 1 day on the computer and 1 day actual driving test. So 5 days total.

They will set you up. Literally no one fails…they help you pass.

Total cost was 2,500 baht. 2,000 for pre riding course and then 500 for the basic course which includes the testing days. They don’t charge for test days. They also have deals they offer if you buy things up front, which I didn’t do.

Highly recommend them! And if you take these courses you don’t have to wait 4 weeks to get an appointment at the DLT. Honda Safety will help arrange an appointment for you via the DLT app. You’ll be in within a week. You’ll just submit the paperwork Honda Safety gives you to DLT and get license right on the spot. Even with an appointment and necessary paperwork the wait at the DLT was around 1 hour and 40 minutes. Not an easy process, but this is Thailand you learn deep patience.

Good luck!

1. US citizens are not entitled to purchase a Visa on Arrival. I assume that you received a stamp in your passport allowing you to stay in Thailand for 45 days Visa Exempt Entry. You do not have a visa. 2. You can extend your stay by a further 30 days at the Immigration office for a further 30 days. After that time, you must leave Thailand. 3. You can depart at a land border crossing to an adjoining country or fly to another country. In that country, you can apply for a tourist visa or you can return to Thailand by land or air and receive another Visa Exempt stamp which will be good for 45 days.

Your extension lapsed when you departed Thailand and is no longer valid. If you wish to return to Thailand your only option is to start again from scratch. Good luck.

@Stuart ********

I was assuming that he will be entering Thailand on his German passport.

Currently 45 days plus 30 days extension. The 45 days runs out next year and returns to 30 plus 30.

@Dieter ******

And you can extend at Immigration office for 30 more days for 1900 thb

Veery easy process to do yourself but will take a few hours.

Bike or car? Do you have a current licence from your country?
