Your international driver’s license or driving license from your country car / motorbike can be changed into a Thai driving license at the Department of Land Transport Office. In fact, if you live in Pattaya, having a Thai driving license is better than only holding an international driving license.
In Thailand, it is important to note that a license for the category of transportation one wishes to operate must be specifically held, rather than changing a foreign license into a Thai one. This results in motorbike and automobile licenses being considered separate documents. Furthermore, the Thai driving license is commonly recognized as a valid form of identification, eliminating the need to constantly carry a passport while operating a vehicle.
Our Company needs the following documents to help you change / convert your current driving license, CAR / MOTORBIKE into a Thai driver’s license:

A driver’s license is a great idea for long-term foreigners staying in Thailand. The police can issue tickets if you don’t have a license, so it’s important to have one. Additionally, if you have an accident without a license, your insurance may become void. Moreover, possessing a driver’s license entitles you to discounts at certain museums, parks, temples, and places where foreign tourists are often charged more than Thai people.
