Does anyone know the cheapest and most effective way for an expat to learn to drive in Thailand?

Can take test in home country, just want to learn here.

thx

You want to learn to do what where and take a test in your home country?

practice here and test in your home country

result: test failed

I agree, whichever 'driving school' taught you here would practically guarantee you a failure in any other country.

Have you not watched people drive here??

agree,

You'd be better off getting the basics of steering in a parking lot by yourself and then going for some proper training in your own country.

Even the law itself doesn't make sense here: did you know that according to the law here, whenever you pass a car you should blow your horn to signal your intention to pass ? Probably never enforced along with 95% of the other laws, but I had to shake my head when I read it in black and white.

What an odd question.

In Thailand its a case of he who dare,s and you literley take your life in your own hands when you sit behind the wheel , You have to drive agressivley and forcefully to get anywhere , Very bad habits are the norm so no good for your home country
