My experience renewing 5year licences for car and motorcycle in Prakon Chai (Buri Ram province) Today 31 July 2024 First granted 2007 or 2550. Expired 25-6-2024 New expiry 25-6-30 Before login and do 1hr online course Elearning, answer 4 questions. Two days 1st Day- Government office Ban Kruat proof of residence.(same as is printed on old licenses) Hospital 2 trips for medical certificate. Doctors only on after 3pm. (Pay) Photo copy x 3 (1 each licence , Passport, Visa (new 60 day on arrival) stamp and spare) 2nd Day Drive to Pra Khon Chai transportation department after 11am as instructed over the phone , only Thai for online booking. Hand all the paperwork and old licenses show Elearning receipt on my phone over the counter sit down and wait. Call up much signing must be blue pen,wife is getting annoyed. Sit back down Call up for colour test , red yellow green , brake reaction test and line up 2 small posts. Then put your head on the bench and pick the white light , right or left eye. Looking good. All good nope ,they now need immigration paperwork due to a missing number on the home address from the government office. We leave and head to Buri Ram (wife is not happy) Immigration located in the race track. (pay) Get the paperwork,rush back as the office closes at 3.30pm. Prakhon Chai Walk in hand paperwork to the same staff ,more signings , fee paid , photos taken and walk out with both licenses. Summary This was not a pleasant experience. I was very polite and accommodating trying to smile ,thanking everyone. However the positive was using the new 60day on arrival stamp in my Australian passport. It may have been easier if I had a yellow book,who knows.

Thank you Phillip9

Now that it’s finally being applied ,is there an end date? Planning my future travel plans for next year and beyond.

New tyres to the front. Car braking is roughly applied at 70% Front 30% rear. Plus the benefit of steering

Thai Snow season 😂 My brother inlaw (thai) enjoys it as the ash falls down covering cars, driveway. "Thai snow" he yells to me. I laughed that much nearly choked on my beer.
