Pattaya driving schools.

[thainet]

Need to find a driving school in Pattaya (for 19 year girl who has never driven before).

Talked with "Advance Driving School" near BPH, but their 15 hours driving course is 5 hours a day/3 days.

Looking for a school that spreads the driving lessons more (maybe 1-2 hours a day).

Any experience or information of driving schools in Pattaya gratefully received.

You can discuss your  ideas with them You can even extend the number of driving hours. Just pay some more money.

My tgf went to a school on Thepprasit Road, About 200 yards on the left up from Thappraya Road. Paid 7000 baht for a series of lessons. But their aim is not to teach you to drive but just to get you through the test. You can choose to have the lessons when you want.

Wife went to Pattaya Klang driving school years ago and it seemed quite good, and they did a couple of hours a day. A quick check shows they are no longer in Pattaya Klang but out towards Nong Palai.

Is this the one that was roughly opposite Foodland - next to or close to the small hardware shop?

If so my ex used them and a lot depended on the individual instructor you got.

I used Pattaya Klang Driving school as their test track is right next to the DLT. Although I was converting a UK licence there were lots of young Thais getting their first license

Try,

Advance Driving School Pattaya

[scorecard]

Do any of the schools teach:

 

- Driving, and 

- The traffic laws?

 

Why this question?

 

- My Thai son visited a driving school in Chan Rd area of Bkk, he asked if they included teaching the traffic rules/laws.

- Response: NO because there are no driving laws/regulations so how could we teach this?

- He produced a commercially printed multi page booklet (in Thai and English) with lots of information for new driving students and many pages with intersection drawings and vehicles travelling in different directions/turning etc., and who had to stop/wait, etc.

- And many signs and explanation of what the sign meant and what actions drivers should take etc.

- The school on Chan Rd., insisted that the booklet was not real and told son to throw it away.

- He searched further until he found the school which fitted his objectives and had good lessons. After every lesson he came home and explained what he had been doing nd asked questions on points that he wanted to be very sure about, and in many discussions we found it mentioned in the booklet I mentioned above.
