Has anyone got one?

A sign at the Licensing Office that serves the Pattaya area had a sign that said you could get a one year license with tourist visa. You would not be able to get a 5 year license though but would have to get another one year every year until you had a Non-O.

The sign was there about a year ago and I don't actually know anybody personally that has done it.

I just got my Thai licenses (car and motorcycle) on my Tourist visa in Chiang Mai a couple of days ago. See my topic post: for details.

I have car and bike licence from the Chonburi/Pattaya office and got that in July on a 30 day visa waiver stamp - but had residence certificate from immigration.

OK, Thanks for the replies
