Never even inferred that just wasn't sure if you ever had it happen to you or you may have just heard it from someone . It had absolutely nothing to do with your post.

Keesters Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 When I lost mine in Pattaya: Police report - 20 baht, 10 minutes Letter from immigration showing my address - some baht, come back in afternoon License office issued new one with same expiry date - 100-200 baht, an hour or so in queue. No test, simple form, they take your photo. Computer had all my details. Fairly painless experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know what took place. Same 5-year expiry date as before. They have everything on record in the system, but want a new updated photo (the snap it, included in fee). In my case, I've got a Yellow House Book since the original driver license were issued, so my ID-number were automatically changed from my Passport number to my new Thai ID number.
