The bank is correct.

You need two original medical certificates

If you have a Thai driving license you pay the same as Thais which is often zero.

Renewed my 5 year today in and out in one hour as I was prepared. Did the one hour DLT on line training before hand, Documents required Copies of front and back of existing licence. copy of passport, visa, extension pages. it says copy of lease but they said not needed. Medical certificate from any clinic cost 200Baht Residence letter from immigration. You must go in person to make an appointment, you cannot do online on line. You go back on the day they advise its as simple as that. If you go after your license expires you get 6 years not five.

What I don't get is why discuss something if someone is just supposedly thinking of it. I think of many things but no need to discuss about it until I want to implement it.

Try looking at the Ford Everest, some good deals on used ones. Excellent fuel consumption, full 7 seven seater, lots of safety features and my missus who is 5,5 can drive it with ease. I would not touch a car going for 250k
