Has anybody ever tried (successfully or unsuccessfully) to convert a provisional UK driving license to a Thai driving license?

They look roughly the same but the provisional license is green and the full license is pink.

Many thanks

Officially not possible.

But you never know, just try it, and if it is not accepted simply do the driving test.

I did mine in Udon Thani about 4 years ago. Managed to get a bike and a car licence from my UK car one.

And that was a provisional UK licence?

And the computerized theory test I assume?

This one being the higher hurdle for most.

      Where is the weed industry headed in Thailand?

      Add on top of that a whole lot of shady activity in the market.

      Delivery Driver Killed in High-Speed Crash in Samut Prakan

      Picture from responders. A delivery driver lost his life, and another person was injured when he lost control of his pickup truck and crashed into a parked vehicle and a pedestrian bridge in Samut Prakan. At approximately 13:30 on 2 March, police from Samrong Tai Police Station received a report of a serious road crash on Pu Chao Saming Phrai Road, heading from Phra Pradaeng Pier towards Samrong. The incident occurred near the Isuzu factory in Moo 3, Samrong Klang, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan. Emergency responders from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, along with rescue equipment, were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities discovered a black Ford Ranger pickup truck, registration from Bangkok, overturned on its left side near the pedestrian bridge. The vehicle’s front and left side were completely wrecked. Inside, rescue workers found the body of 56-year-old Surasak Boonwasana, a delivery truck driver, trapped in the wreckage with severe head injuries. His body had to be extracted using cutting equipment. Nearby, a Yamaha NMAX motorcycle, registration from Bangkok, and a Honda Wave motorcycle, registration from Bangkok, were both damaged, along with the front glass of a barbershop. About 50 metres away at a U-turn, officers found a silver Isuzu D-Max pickup truck, registration from Bangkok, with extensive damage to its rear. Inside this vehicle was 31-year-old Lapatsarada Prathan, who suffered minor injuries. She had been sitting in the passenger seat while her husband and son were inside the barbershop. Emergency responders provided first aid before transferring her to a nearby hospital. CCTV footage captured the moment the black pickup truck, driven by the deceased, was travelling at high speed in the right lane before suddenly swerving left. It then slammed into the parked Isuzu pickup truck near the pedestrian bridge. Sunthorn Ponglun, 32, a witness, stated:“I was sitting by the road, when I saw the truck speeding past. It looked like the driver blacked out. He was in the right lane but suddenly swerved left and crashed into the parked pickup truck. A woman was inside that vehicle, but luckily she wasn’t badly hurt.” Chanaphisitha Tripornphun, 50, the barbershop owner whose motorcycles were damaged, described the impact:“I was cutting a customer’s hair when I heard a sound like an explosion. When I turned around, I saw the truck nearly hitting the pedestrian bridge. The glass at the front of my shop shattered, and both my motorcycles were destroyed. The driver must have been going over 100 km/h.” Warin Dechchai, 38, the owner of the parked Isuzu pickup truck, recounted:“I had just taken my son to the barbershop and left my wife waiting in the car. Less than ten minutes later, I heard a loud bang, like a tyre exploding. I ran out and saw my wife dazed with a small head wound. I was terrified something had happened to her. In my truck.” Sukchin Tama, 69, a friend of the deceased, speculated that alcohol may have been a factor:“Before the accident, he invited me to go home to Saraburi with him, as we often travelled together. But today, I decided not to go. Not long after, I heard about the crash. I suspect he was drunk because when he visited my house earlier, he seemed intoxicated. He didn’t have any underlying health issues but drank regularly. We had been friends for 13 years and worked as truck drivers together. He never married and often returned to Saraburi.” Police have taken initial photographs and logged the details of the crash. CCTV footage will be reviewed in further detail to confirm the cause. The deceased’s body has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Police General Hospital for an autopsy. -- 2025-03-03
