Obtaining a Driving License in Thailand is still quite challenging even though you already have a foreign driving license. 2 main criteria that you need to fulfill are:
1. To complete 6 different tests
2. To provide 7 different documents including a recent medical certificate (5 diseases form)
What are the tests that you need to pass?
Color Blindness – An official will show you different colored dots on a poster, and you have to state the name of each color you see. The staff might accept answers in English, but they might skip the test altogether.
Reflex Test – You will sit behind a simulated brake pedal and gas pedal. Then, you will have to push an accelerator until the green lights on the panel in front of you start to light up. Make sure to hit the brake pedal before the lights become red.
Peripheral Test – You will have to put your head on a test station and point your eyes ahead to an official. Then, you have to tell the traffic color shown on your right and left side without moving your eyes.
Depth Perception Test – You have to align a moving pin using special forward and back buttons.
Theory Test – You will have to answer several questions regarding the rules of the road in Thailand.
Practical Driving Test – You will drive a vehicle around a small track outside of the test center. A tester will watch you from a distance. You will have to demonstrate your depth perception skills by reversing between a set of poles, then pulling up as close to the curb as possible.
What are the documents that you need to provide?
– Your passport and your non-immigrant visa.
– Copies of the first page of your passport.
