is it renewal after 1st year or 5 years? If it is after the 1st year then can only do it on or after the expiry date. With the renewal after 5 years i don't think it matters before or after the expiry date.

You have to go to the DLT (Dept of Land Transport) and you need all the documents you had to do before (Residency Certificate from Immigration, Doctor Certificate, passport of course, and copies of everything). If you are doing car licence and bike licence, some offices require 2 of everything. No exams, just money!

@Skinlog,

You might want to check out this thread (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/574959-drivers-license-in-chiang-mai/). While the discussion is talking about CM, it also outlines the requirements in general for the 5 year license and how long before the expiration you can apply. You don't have to wait until it expires to renew.

Yes, you will automatically get the 5 year. Genericnic (above) was able to get it before, but Offices around the country maybe different so best to check, No problems going after the expiry date, you don't have to do any tests again.

Call Centre number is 1584.

a list of the offices (been googlefied)
