jayenram Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I live in Surin with my Thai girlfriend. She was told by the licencing "authority" here that she would need to take her driving test in her hometown (Phuyow). She therefore had to travel 18 hours, each way, to take a test in unfamiliar surroundings with an unfamiliar vehicle. She passed even so. However, she was told that she will need to travel back to Phuyow each year to renew the licence. Surely there must be an easier way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 You could buy her a home in Surin? You could move to Phuyow? You could wait? Things seem to be slowly changing away from the 'home register' being the key paperwork to new ID cards which may change these old rules. But it may still be a few years (at least until everyone is on-line) before these years trips become a thing of the past. Perhaps there is another way as am no expert on this subject and things are changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 The first two options are not really feasible (I own a house in Surin - on my ex wife's land). The last option (to wait) is too late. I'll investigate the possibility of a postal renewal when the time draws near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Can't she just register at the new address (your house) - she doesn't have to own it to live there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 I'll investigate that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
