Does anyone know the location of the land transport office in Surat Thani?

I have a 5 year Thai drivers license and am traveling to Europe in a week where I will need an IDP. And yes, I will need the IDP.  Italy.

I understand they can't issue IDP's at the office here in Samui.

I got my license in Chiang Mai and my residence certificate is for Chiang Mai as well.... hopefully I don't run into some kind of regional issue but that would be par for the course :)

 

Any help is much appreciated.

At the first big intersection where you can turn left to Big C continue on straight through the intersection. It is about 2km down on the left hand side. Sorry, cant be any more specific than that.

Google machine works for this....

 

This location is derived from the DLT Surat Thani website and is consistent with the street address:

https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/9°09'15.9"N+99°20'29.6"E/@9.1530776,99.329891,14.93z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d9.15443!4d99.34155

 

9.1530776, 99.329891

 

Unfortunately the entrance can not be seen on Google street view.

Found it.

 

The street view from Feb 2016 shows some construction going on.

Maybe they have a new building at this site now.

Thank you all. I did google and the map came up with 3 locations, spread quite far apart. The one mentioned above had a tag that said "permanently closed".

Therefore my confusion!

I have checked with the Surat Thani DLT website and it shows the location as I have linked.

Interestingly they also show a picture of a obviously brand new building:

Just guessing that construction is finished and they moved to the new building just adjacent to the old one ("permanently closed").

BTW: have you asked in Samui? It seems true that not all offices issue the IDP directly, but usually you can apply and they will mail this to a central office.

You can then pickup or receive it by postal mail.

 

Before doing the drive to ST wait for other members to confirm about the location.

I don't want to be held responsible

Thank you!

Time crunch... leave in a week. Left it too late )

Cheers!

Thanks everyone. Found the building - yes it's new - and had my IDP within 20 minutes.

Cheers!
