Hi there, i have lost my Thai driving licence and i am wondering if i can just go to the local driving test centre with some ID and obtain a new one. I am in Rayong and the test was done in Nan. Can i get it in Rayong or do i have to travel all the way to Nan?? Many thanx

File a report with the police. Take that document with your passport and go to any LTD and file for a replacement.

you don't need a police report ....... well they never asked me for one!

I sure wouldn't waste a trip to the Land Transportation Department without a Police Report, just because they didn't ask you for one sarahsbloke doesn't mean anything

It is the law that a Police Report be presented before they will issue a new drivers license so why waste your time and end up making two trips

Must be a different law in CM then ,,,,,, I still got a new one.

As in most things in Thailand, it depends on who you get at the counter. The police report is free and takes 10 minutes. If you went without it and were turned away, we would be discussing that in a new thread "Why do I need a police report to get my lost license back?"

Mine was stolen and when I told them that at the LTD in Phuket they told me to get a police report. I was going to go back and say I lost it but it sounds like I will likely still need a police report.

I lost mine, went to Police station in Jomtien took 10 mins to get lost report, went to License center off the 36, with copy of passport front page, copy of visa page, 10 mins later photo taken, 5 minutes later walking out 205 Baht lighter. Easy, painless and quick!

No !!! you have to spend 30 days in jail and you will have to re-take your test unless you apply to the Kwasaki benevolent fund.

Only joking no problem for you.

I did exactly that, got my police report, went to Transport office with Passport and a copy then was told as it was a different office and I had moved I needed a copy of my landladys tabien ban and a copy of her id card. At which point i gave up. As was earlier said I think it depends on who you get at the counter. Think I will just try a different transport office!
