notrub Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 How does an 18 year old Thai person learn to ride in order to be able to pass the test for a driver's permit? Is there a learner's permit category in Thailand? Otherwise how can they legally practice driving pre permit? I hope not only on private land.

johng Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 There is no learners permit...there are some driving schools that can teach car and motorcycle...most just learn with a friend or relative...in a quiet car park or street then when ready goto the local Department of Land Transportation hope to pass then are issued with a "temporary" 2 year licence...which has some restrictions one being a lower allowed alcohol limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notrub Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thank you Johng. Does the test for the temporary permit require riding the motorbike as with a normal test or is it simply a written test please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The test incorporates vision and reaction tests, a computerised road rules theory test,maybe watching a safety video and then an actual practical driving test...on a mock road which I found the easiest part some people have trouble with the long straight raised strip about a 30cm wide which you're not supposed to fall off of..I think they recently split it into a two day affair, some offices have long waiting times to get an appointment.
