Totster Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I want to get a Thai Driving license, and have all the necessary paperwork apart from the certificate from the doctor. This is where the problem is.. we have tried four different doctors, and had no joy.. after the fourth try the wife was loosing her rag, so I said I'd come and ask on here. So.. can anyone recommend a doctor in Kalasin that will be able to provide me with certificate needed when applying for a driving license ? many thanks totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenram Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Any 'health centre' should be able to provide it. In my experience as long as you are able to walk (or loll) in, the certificate will be provided. Bht 20 to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats how I understood it.. the wife and I also went to the DL office and asked them again, they confirmed what you just said. But we seem to be meeting some resistance.. the last Doctor said they couldn't do it because their "paper had run out" ! totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issangeorge Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Totster, I got my lisence last March in Kuchinarai, the DL told me what Doctor to go to. If you live anywhere near Kuchinarai just west of the Krung Thai Bank on the same side of the road there is a Doctor's office, they will do it for you there. Last one I had it was his receptionest who did it the Doctor was not even there. Issangeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sezzo Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Down our way the local expats around here just go into the DL place and show the International Driving Permit, Your country of origin driving licence and your passport and visa. There is no doctors certificate, no eye test, no depth perception test, no driving test, and not even any tea money under the table. I suppose it helps living in the sticks sometimes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoman Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I also live in Kalasin and last year just went to the DL office... Right out front of the place were several desks setup to provide Medical Cert., Insurance and Photos.... I really just went to look into what it would take for future try, but it was so easy that I just went for it, and walked out later in the afternoon with both Vehicle and Motorcycle Lic... I was required to take the written test and drivers test for the Motorcycle, both really quit easy... I will be going for my 5 year renewal in two months.. I hope that it is as easy as the last time... Pianoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issangeorge Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) From the above posts I see there are three other posters other than myself that live in Kalasin Province. Where do you all live? I live in Kuchinarai District, and if any one is interested five or six farangs get together every Tuesday night for dinner and to talk farang stuff at a resteraunt in Boakhao (Kuchinarai town) if interested I can try to give dirrections.

Issangeorge. Issangeorge, I live in Kalasin City/town, and know of at least six to eight expats from the US, England and Austraila who all live here in the City... We tend to get together about once a month for a BBQ or Pizza Feed at someone's place... There are three other expats right on my Soi... I am not sure where Kuchinarai town is, but once a week seems like a bit too often for gatherings.. Pianoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issangeorge Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Pianoman, Kuchinarai is on 2042 go to Somdet and turn right, a pit far from Kalasin City. The reason we meet once a week is because we all live a long way apart and the only time we get to speak English is at our weekly gatherings. Issangeorge.

Totster Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Did you get your certificate Totster? Yes.. did it all today.. like pianoman said, got the doctors certificate right outside the office. The licenses were surprisingly easy to obtain, it took about 10 mins to sort everything out with the very helpful young lady there, paid my fees... went for lunch, 30 mins later returned and picked up the licenses. Thanks all for your help Totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
