Drivers Licence renewal Phuket

[alphason]

Completed car renewal 5 to 5 years last week.

 

Much better having this appointment system hope it continues, was in at 8AM out before 8.30AM, very simple.

 

Cost for car only was 500B + 5B total 505Baht, they didn't charge for any printing/photo this time.

Really?  I'm assuming he received two 5-year licenses, one for motorcycle and one for a car.

Cost of 5-year motorcycle license:    55 baht
Cost of 5-year car license:               605 baht
Cost of printing licenses 50/each    100 baht
                                            Total:       760 baht

Sounds normal to me.  I believe that's what I paid.  Don't know the reason Phuket LTO charges 50 baht/license for printing, but they do.

Seems to agree with this article:

I did not have the info of 2 licences. A car licence cost 505 baht. But printing of licences is a nice thee money if everyone is paying this, I doubt it.

Teamoney? Not at all, that is what is standard printed on the receipts, all legit.

Are the costs in your country also different in every office to get a drivers license?

Which is not related at all to the teamoney statement.

Finally got my long awaited renewal date. In early at 08.40. Out with new license 09.10. Car only 505 baht. Excellent service.

 

On my way out I witnessed a foreigner shouting at reception staff that he had to wait 30 days for a date. I waited 75 days,  What a rude fellow.

I waited zero days. I made the examination to get a Q-code in The Netherlands and the appointment in Thailand in October and the date a month before expiration February 5 of the first 2 years. Good planning then you not have to Wait.

So you made the appointment in October and had the date in January. I'd say that's a 3 months wait.

Are you a Thai? They have never a planned plan. I could do it a month before too.

Sorry, your posts don't make much sense.

Why do you want to know if he's Thai?

Thanks for information and was trying to find out and I suppose can go in the Kanchanaburi DLT and my current 5 year Thai  license runs out 22nd May 2022 and yes realise I will have to have my yellow book, my pink Id card my current licence and the Doctors certificate.
Anything else and thought one can just go to the offices from the start of 2022 and wondering how long one has to wait for an appointment and is there a period of grace but in the meantime if stopped by the police it could be difficult.
I think there is a website but yes could go in to Kanchanaburi DLT to find out further.
Re: The Doctors certificate is there a standard one or can an ordinary doctors not sufficient.
Thanks all

Thanks all
