Sorry but this is incorrect information - at least for the Chonburi motor office in Pattaya.

We have the full details in the Pattay section of ThaiVisa

My Thai drivers licenses are up for renewal next week. Anyone know what  I need to bring to the motor office for renewal?

Bring your most convincing big smile and

Passport (and 1 signed copy of photo page)

Visa page and non immigrant visa page (and 1 signed copy of each)

Two small photos

Your old Thai driving license.

You should be ok and should get 5 years' licences.

The correct information can be found on the Pattaya City Expats Website

Well Madsere, just found your advice in Pattaya City Expats Club

So compare and tell me what's incorrect?

Perhaps I missed to mention the application form. Fine, in BKK this is done by the reception desk, sometimes Baht 5, sometimes free.

But reading through your source, not sure the information on life-time is correct.
