overherebc Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 100cc to 2300cc same lisence, and tests are piece of cake Don't know if the rules are the same, but, when I got car and bike licence at the same time I had to show Non-Imm visa and UK licence covering car and bike. Took an eyesight, colour blindness check and paid about 150 baht for both. Recently had to re-new, after 5 years and got the new style hard card. Only thing was had to sit and watch a video on road safety for 45 minutes or so but was more expensive, around a 1000 baht from memory, but I'm getting old, so check the figures yourself.

There are some online resources for helping with the theory test and my local office has a test terminal in he lobby that you can switch to English to learn the answers before trying for real. The practical involves riding around a short course in the test centre, make a few turns, go through some cones and along a raised strip for 20m or so. None of it is difficult at all. It took me longer messing around in immigration and clinics getting the required paperwork first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 If you want to avoid taking the test, best to take not only your driving licence, but also an international driving permit if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
