bberrythailand Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) hello, has anybody been with a Thai to get a motorbike driving license ? Before I get mad with one staff I want to bring her to get one, can you tell me what documents she needs ? And she said that she needs 2 days to get it, is it true ? Can we pay a little bit more to get it faster ? I guess she already knows how to drive, she has been driving 10 years without license.... Thank you for your reports.

Kwasaki Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) A Thai person can get a motorcycle DL by just sitting a computer test. A practical test. The lady in question can find out what's she needs from the nearest DLT office. You don't say where you are but in Bkk there are places you can book and pay money to pass in 1 day from memory, may have changed that l dunno. Ask in motorbike forum.

questionsreplies Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yes I confirm that it now takes 2 days, but do you know anybody who can help to get it in 1 day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're are you in thailand?. you can't get it in one day in possible . you just need thai Id and medical certificate . she could be driving for 20 years dose not mean she will pass, can she drive slow for 10 seconds for 20 mts in a straight line , that is the hardest part of the test . just took my thai to get her car license , and was watching the bike test just a joke . but I say this if you are in the north east of thailand issan you could be in for a big wait , because lots of Thais are try to get in before January because the license gets a lot harder after December. my thai was told had to wait 2 months to look at the video part of the license and I was not happy then I went to try somewhere else and was told the same thing, but I was lucky the teacher who was taken the tests told us you can go to this University in ???? The next city and watch the video then the next day you go to the testing station and do the exam and come back the next day and do the driving test . that way it takes 3 days . the testing station are flat out trying to get though hundreds of people before January. 300 thi bht for the video at the University 205 thai bht for the license if she gets through. lots will not go to the uni because they don't want to pay the 300 thai bht extra . hop it helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentonian Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Quote I guess she already knows how to drive, she has been driving 10 years without license.... Along with another 5 million, which is why Thailand has one of the worst road death records in the world. The actual riding part is easy, it's the Theory test they can't pass, but for a few thousand baht even Noddy can get a licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) You'll want to DL with a MC endorsement and an International Drivers license issued from your home country. Then all you need to do is view a safety video and take an eye test. Otherwise you're on the hook to take a written and a practical test.

The riding part is a joke , not like back home in Australia very hard . the ex Thais daughter took 6 go's at the theory test and 2 go's at the riding . yes the place is a joke , if you see the car test you would just laugh , there was one lady trying to past had been back 6 times to try and pass the drive close to the roadside curb she filed again so has to go back in 3 days , and on the same day one thai turns up hi so great looking she would have been 19 years old new Honda to do the test again because she could not pass 3 days ago , you see if file you have to go back after 3 days . well she filed again and the funny thing is she drive to the testing station with no license DELETED how I know I was getting my thai her license she got it after one go but when she filed the first time I took her to the local car park and made her redo simulation of the test for 2 hours so when we went back after 3 days she passed. i have been teaching my thai to drive like we do back home in Australia not like in thailand and she now is ok driving but I have been teaching her for 4 months. DELETED . I would tell her how bad the driving is in thailand and she would say what you care it is in thailand not like your country but now she has her thai driving license she now tells me how bad the driving is here . it is a lot different when they have to drive and not be a back seat driver. now she understand why I complain so much about very bad driving habits in thailand.

KhunBENQ Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I share the experiences from post #4. She needs the medical certificate which is laughable. If she can hand her ID over the counter she has it in a few minutes. As far as I remember it's good for 30 days. If the office does it in two days, it's two days (like mine). I can't tell you where she has to go for a one day exercise. I doubt that there is a legal way to speed up, They have their plan and will not deviate. I had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment.

bberrythailand Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Thank you for the replies. So at Chonburi eastern center near pattaya it will take 2 days ? No confirmation about how to speed it up ? Does anybody know if the 2 days have to be done in a row ? Or after the first day you can do the second one any day in the future ?

You have no hop of getting it speed up , you have to do it in 2 days. you can go 2 days in a row . i will tell you this buy her a book on leaning the road laws or she will Fail the test for sure . most Thais like your one who has been driving with no license for 10 years like you say have no idea about the road laws , how can she , she never had a license. so take my word for it she will not pass if she dose not read the book . you have to get 45 out of 50 right or you go back in 3 days . not sure about doing one day then wait awhile and do the next day .

malt25 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 My daughter in law went for her bike licence yesterday. Did all the academic test stuff. Has appointment for December 6 to go back for riding test. Even offering a "donation" couldn't get the riding test any sooner. ID & medical certificate all that is required. As stated above, medical is a joke. 50 baht to receptionist & had certificate, "while you wait." No doctor in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Day 1: Do physical tests (color, peripheral vision, reaction). About 6 hours of tutoring by two different tutors, in between video watching (all in Thai language of course). A couple of attendants sleeping. Day 1 start about 9:00h, finish about 16:00h. Day 2: from about 9h to 11h theory test, sitting and waiting for a test computer available. The young Thais sitting endless over the questions. 1h maximum as far as I know. Needed less than 10 min. Long break. 15h: driving test. All attendants ready about 15:45h. About 16:15h printing and handing over/paying DL. This was in upcountry. I am NOT in Chonburi/Pattaya! Sure they could try to pack all in one day. Escpecially day 2 is mainly sitting/waiting. Long break during driving. Our upcountry office is poorly staffed, also some test instruments and overhead projector defect. Maybe the offices in the rich areas can do it one day?
