DILLIGAD Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Any clinic will give you an acceptable Med Cert for around 50b. They don't usually even look at you!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) In the Prasat Entertainment Center is the local bone doctor. 50 baht for the medical. You have a Land Transportation Department in Prasat, Surin and Sanghkato chose from. Edited March 29, 2014 by khwaibah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great things worked out for you. What was the cost of your medical ? Cost of Medical was 50 Baht, All I did was sit in waiting room for them to fill out forms no checking me at all, not even a stethoscope on the ticker or lungs, That was preety good and getting my License was as easy as 1 2 3, No sitting for video just a reaction test and colour test all done that cost for memory about 150 baht , So all worked out good for me except for my Thai motorcycle license they wanted me to do a 2 day test, yes 2 days that meant sitting in room doing the full monty I guess, and as I was heading to Bangkok the next day after my license was issued I didn't worry, next time I will do that... Thanks for all info from everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Aherne Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hey Folks, Just checking if anything has changed recently? We're living in BKK but down in Surin for the Christmas. I was thinking if I can get a COR then I could try get a license while I'm here. Does the COR have to correspond to where you apply for the license? I can try get a COR from the housebook here in Surin but is there any chance they will see that I state BKK when I fly in/out? Thanks, Peter.

Peter Aherne Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Replying to myself...one more thing, I saw elsewhere that a work permit may work in lieu of a COR. In that case a) Is that true Will that work in Surin if the Work Permit states BKK Cheers, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you understand things change here depending on the office/Officer/time of day/ lottery numbers etc!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work Permit was fine, no issues but because my Irish license expires in a month they would not give a temporary Thai license Will try in Bangkok next week and I guess the worst case is I will have to do Theory and Practical tests in addition to the usual depth/vision tests. Both of which seem to be relatively easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
