Who this is for

Is this the right service for you?

  • Anyone driving a car in Phuket without a Thai license - renting, buying, or driving a family car.
  • A Thai license also settles the insurance question: after an accident, cover is paid out properly against a valid local license.

Not for you if

You hold a license from home plus a valid IDP, or a Russian license.

Converting costs 6,500 ฿ with no exam

Any visa

Tourist stamp included. No minimum visa type, no waiting period.

No previous license needed

Never held one? That’s the standard case, not the exception.

No driving school

No classes, no course to sit through before the test.

How it works

Four appointments. The fastest legal route.

  1. Wednesday

    Register and pay

    A short visit to the school with your passport and cash. This is the cut-off for this week’s group.

  2. Thursday

    Fingerprints

    A full day out. Transport is included - you’re picked up and brought back.

  3. Saturday

    Exam day

    Pick-up at 6:00. Lectures in Thai and English, practice, then the theory test. Lunch is included. Back in the evening.

  4. Tuesday

    License in your hand

    Collect your license around 11:00. Done.

What the exam day actually involves

Lectures in Thai and English, then the practical on a marked course: reversing between posts, parallel parking, and a stop line. The theory test sits inside the afternoon lecture. A missed attempt puts you back in the queue for the same day.

What to bring

A short checklist.

  • Passport

  • Passport copy

    And a copy of the page with your stamp or visa

  • Medical certificate

    About 100 ฿ from a local clinic

  • Residence certificate

    500 ฿, one day, Phuket Immigration

  • Cash on the day

    13,000 ฿

Rather not deal with any of it? 1,500 ฿ and we handle the paperwork for you.

FAQ

Specific to this service.

Is the practical test on my own car?

No. A school car is provided at the DLT office. You don’t need to own or rent anything.

Is it automatic or manual?

The test car is automatic, and a Thai category B license covers both. There is no separate manual test.

Can I drive with my international permit while I wait?

If your national license and IDP are both valid, yes - and in that case converting them costs 6,500 ฿ with no exam at all. If either has expired, you are driving unlicensed, and the fine is 2,000 ฿.

Does this cover pick-ups and vans?

Category B covers ordinary cars, pick-ups and small vans up to 3.5 tonnes. Heavier commercial vehicles are a separate Thai category we don’t handle.

Can I add the motorcycle category?

Yes. Both on the same Saturday is 19,000 ฿ rather than 23,000 ฿. Added later, the motorcycle license is the full 10,000 ฿.

My family needs three licenses - is that a problem?

No. The group takes several people at once and the schedule is the same for all of them. Message us with how many and we’ll put you in the same Wednesday group.
