Master of the court Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 read all the stories about getting a thai license for car or bike, but how about bus or truck is it possible to get, if I already have it on my intl. license ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I don't know if you can do that. I had both on mine too but just got issued with a car one. I do know you need a special licence for a bus ,not sure about truck size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I would thank that being a foreigner that a buss or truck driver would be on the no job list and therefore next to impossible to get a license unless you have compiling reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the context of this thread there is a distinction between obtaining a commercial vehicle licence and driving them as an occupation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
