Welcome to Thailand, a country of golden temples, bustling markets, and roads that twist through landscapes I’ve loved for 25 years, ever since my first school days in Chiang Rai. Driving here has opened up its wonders in ways I can’t imagine living without, and if you’re a newbie—perhaps teaching English, settling as an expat, or just staying for a while—obtaining a Thai driving license is your golden ticket to explore it all. It might feel like a big step when you’re new, but don’t worry—I’m here to walk you through every detail with the warmth and patience Thailand has taught me over decades. Let’s get you ready to drive safely on these incredible roads, step by step, with all the tips a newcomer needs!
