From your post I am uncertain what you want to do:

 

Getting a new (temporary) Thai driving license based on your home country license and/or IDP?

Extending your existing Thai driving license?

Most unlikely: do it from scratch with driving and theory test?

 

In any case don't forget the medical/health certificate. Always required now.

 

Can't help about booking at this office. Some have a first come/first serve quota for foreigners. For the early birds.

Yes a new Thai License. 

 

Where can you do the medical/health certificate? On the day? Or before I guess

Basically every (roadside) clinic/licensed doctor.

Is valid for one month.

Usually a pure formality with little to no examination. 100 to 200 Baht.

 

New license with driving test and theory test?

That definitely needs appointment with weeks to months long queues.

Consider paying for using the help of a driving school in this case.

Hope someone can give specific hints on Bangkok. Not my turf.
