Thanks for the update, but I have a 5 yr license using the pink card, the problem is that pink card rule about 'District of Issue', is only for foreigners from neighboring countries with work permits. As usual the 'Boss' does not no the law. I first found this out from my City DVLT, when registering a car, one woman there 'the boss' insisted on a Res. Letter, although the other lady there said it was OK a long story really but here I go, first trip, got the nice lady, come back Thursday pm. for your new plates, I went on Fri morning instead, different woman ''no can not'' my wife even rang the Amphur who issued it, and they spoke to her Nah, went to immigration and explained to them, they even rang her, no they were not having it (lose of face ? ) Time was running out before DVLT closed, so immigration made the LR in 5 min (free as it is) normally a 3 day wait. I have sworn never to go to that office again (when I got back the nice lady was there "why you not come yesterday"
so when I wanted to re-new my DL, I found out the DVLT office 25klm further out of town accepted it. (got my missus to ring them).
