chiangrai Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I went to the Government buildings yesterday to get my driving licenses for car and motorbike. I had both Thai drivers licenses with me but they were years out of date. I have done the test for the motorcycle license before but didn't have to do the test for the car license because I had a foreign license for a car. They had me do a color blind test,sit and watch some videos and sit through a lecture in Thai. Then they let me go about 4 o'clock and told me to come back on Monday and do both practical tests and one test on the computer.I said that i only had a motorcycle and didn't have my own car and they told me that I could rent one. I have no idea what to expect on Monday.I've never done the practical test for a car.What does it entail.What kind of a car do they rent you and how much does it cost.

KhunBENQ Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) A few hints on practical driving test. Basically it's a farce, circling around the office yard. The biggest hurdle might be to understand the instructions. Best you watch others as good as possible. Rent car: no idea. I guess it will be some sedan with manual gearbox/clutch. A bit more "difficult" on the ramp Not sure but the video in the other thread seems to say that automatic gear is not even allowed for the test?? From other threads: the DLT will not offer any cars to rent. You have to organize that on your own. Near some DLTs there seem to be car renters for that purpose. Very basic stuff like this (driving backward, stopping at the curb) etc.etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTSUgEE6i1A Edited September 11, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I did my car license testing about 6 mos. ago at the Banglamung, Chonburi LTO office and did a series of reports on it all. If you search under my name in the Pattaya sub-forum you'll find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
