To the best I know it's 3 months before expiry (don't beat if it's 2 months).

 

Are you aware that you can renew up to one year after expiry without extra effort?

Will also result in longer validity (6 years if just after expiry).

Yes your licence runs to your birthday. Renew it the day after and you will get six years less a day. 

 

When I renewed at Nonthaburi, I used my yellow book as proof of address. They have a notice pinned up stating exactly what paperwork they want you to provide when you go to renew.

Office is in Nonthaburi on Tiwanon Road. Just allocate half a day and go early:)

I'll take note of that for my next renewal:) Too bad we can't do that for 90-day forms!

Is there an age limit to obtaining a license? Or is it for life?

18 years old ... in the distant past licence was for life ... but now max time for licence is 5 years but renew day after expiary and you get 6 years less a day.

 

If you can pass renewal tests 'somehow' then they will extend.
