corkman Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi All, In my home country, I would take them to a outdoor carpark or an industrial estate, early in the morning at a weekend, when there is no one about. Where in Bangkok can I take someone to teach them how to drive? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corkman Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I would suggest an outdoor carpark or an industrial estate, early in the morning at a weekend, when there is no one about. Yes - but where? I don't know of any in the city! What do locals do? Where do they go? Edited January 5, 2015 by corkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Close to my home is the Crystal Design Center, and the Crystal Park shopping center. Both of these have large parking areas. Further down the road towards Ram Indra, the parking lot at Tawandaeng beer hall would be good.This would actually be ideal, because there is usually nobody here in the morning / daytime. Maybe if you posted the area of Bangkok where you are, another member who is familiar with the area could provide some suggestions.

RichardNorthcott Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Depending on where you live there is a very large car park / event area opposite Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, next to a lake. Very rarely used with open access. Many bikers go to practice slaloms and stunts. Used a few times a year for drag races and circuit races during motor expos. Would be ideal if not too far from you.

Sadana Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Legally? Only within your own property/grounds. However at your own responsibility you could choose to teach her to drive at the examination ground of the site where driving test are done. Often you can use these grounds at times that there are no exams held. Check your local "DMV" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - but where? I don't know of any in the city! What do locals do? Where do they go? Locals, like when my wife was learning and my daughter,go to driving schools. After they passed their test and had a license I taught them how to drive safely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhnomKhnom Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Why not use what Thai use..... the public streets and highways. Select a stretch with three lanes so there is more room for errors and it is easier to drive with the car ON the white line instead of between them. The rule here is "if you have ridden a bicycle, you can drive a pickup." Didn't you know that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any in the city! What do locals do? Where do they go? Locals do not learn to drive, Thais do not learn to drive, do not worry your partner will never have to take a driving test on the streets, locals mostly do not bother with trivial things such as a driving license, insurance etc. If you must persist in your western ways take her or him to any parking lot, try the main airport you can drive around there for hours.
