Is a private car driving license legal to drive a 150 cc motorbike ?

Yes there are 2 licenses. However once you have both and if you got them at the same time then when it’s renewal time you just hand in 2 copies (original of some + a copy or 2 copies and original ) and both get processed at the same time, you get a photograph at the same time etc, so while technically true it seems as if it’s all done together.

For renewing, yes...

I think if you fail you can just go again so no big deal other than having to pay the fee multiple times.

The very first time I tried to get my license, I failed the computer testing, all they said was come back tomorrow, I went home, studied and returned and passed the next day, no extra fees.

 

OP, there's several Youtube videos showing what's involved to get a motorbike license in Thailand.

For issuing the first time it was exactly the same as I had an IDP with both car and motorcycle.

 

if you have to take the driving and riding tests it is probably one at a time.

Thanks Phetphet

I converted my international driving permit to a private thai car driving license, 2 years ago, now its time to renew, so could be time to make a motorbike permit to, think best way to go on is to contact a training school.

what TRAINING SCHOOL !!!!!!????

Back in 2004 all I had was the old type UK paper DL still,  and got both Thai DL's.

You had to provide your own photo's and the only test was a braking test for a car. ????

Sure, also can be used for semi  trucks, backhoes, bulldozers, dump trucks, and cranes since they are all basically the same equipment.

Fool proof way to avoid having to get a bike permit. Disguise yourself like a Thai and you will never be pulled over. Deal is to really look Thai you can't wear a helmet.
