hi guys ,,any advice ,,i hear you can translate your green document uk driivng licence and get a motor bike licence up to 125cc

not sure if this is the case and if so were could you hv it translated in pattaya ,,manty thanks for advice ,and any help ,,ifor

If you have motorcycle entitlement on your UK licence then you can go to the DLT next door to the Regents School

do only the reaction and eye sight tests and walk out with a Thai motorcycle licence that enables you to drive any size of bike within a few hours.

You will also need a " certificate of residence " from Jomtien immigration,a medical certificate from a clinic and at least a tourist visa

plus copies of everything.

I was not asked for a translation. Showed licence, Non Imm visa. Address doc' from Imm. Took the written test (Tick the box type ). Colour vision check. Paid 155 baht and got car and bike licence at the same time.

I took my paper car license to the Thai vehicle test centre and showed them the paragraph about being able to ride bikes of up to 50cc if you're a learner or A2 class if you're over 21 and they gave me a Thai bike license. I had a medical cert, my yellow book and I took the colour blind test and the pedal reaction test.

I left with both a bike license and one for cars.

This was in Udon a couple of weeks ago.

Mish mash of two different things

You can get an International Driving Permit (IDP) which 'validates' your UK licence for use in Thailand (and elsewhere). One being officially no use without the other. Essentially the IDP is supposed to translate the issuing country's licence (but of course you'll see no Thai script in it).

The other (long term) route is to obtain the Thai Licence as above - though if you strike unlucky and lock horns with a clerk who knows you should have the IDP too you may have to do the classroom/test and driving test a la khon Thai

You do not need the IDP when going for a drivers licenses.

^ Correct.

It's like a blue book that Thais have to show where they live, but it's yellow for 'aliens'.

Or you can get ripped of and get a letter from your embassy (as if they would actually know where you live).

I suggest you go to your local DLT office first preferably with a Thai person and ask what you need as said time and many times before not all DLT's ( Department of Land & Transport ) in provinces do things the same way.

In our local DLT a letter from your local police station confirming where you live will suffice for proof of address "certificate of residence" which is much the same thing but as said not all offices do, don't forget to smile.

As you never mentioned where you are located the DLT is cool. You will need a letter of residence from Embassy, Immigration, or police. Also a medical certificate aboutb100 baht and copies of passport, visa, and photos. DLTs are usually cool the one in CM is very helpful.
