Why Choose a Clinic Near the DLT Office?
Choosing a clinic near your DLT office is the smartest approach for getting your medical certificate. These clinics exist specifically to serve driving license applicants, and they process dozens of medical certificates every single day.
- They always have the correct DLT form in stock
- Staff complete the process in 10–20 minutes
- Prices are competitive: 100–300 THB
- Walk-in service — no appointment needed
- Getting the certificate minutes before your appointment ensures maximum freshness within the 30-day validity window
Staff at these clinics are often accustomed to serving foreigners and can handle the process with minimal Thai language requirements. Below, we provide detailed information for each major DLT office commonly used by foreigners in Thailand.

Bangkok: Chatuchak DLT Office (Mo Chit Area)
The Chatuchak DLT office (also known as the Mo Chit DLT) is the most commonly used DLT office for foreigners in Bangkok. It is located on Phahonyothin Road near the Chatuchak Weekend Market area.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | 1032 Phahonyothin Rd, Chatuchak, Bangkok |
| Nearest BTS | Mo Chit (~10 min walk) |
| Nearest MRT | Chatuchak Park (~10 min walk) |
| Clinics nearby | 3+ clinics within 5 min walk on Phahonyothin Rd |
| Medical cert price | 100–200 THB |
| Clinic hours | ~8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Mon–Sat) |
Several clinics offering medical certificates are located on Phahonyothin Road and in the surrounding soi (side streets) within a 3–5 minute walk of the DLT entrance. Look for small clinics with signs reading ตรวจสุขภาพ (health check) or ใบรับรองแพทย์ ทำใบขับขี่ (medical certificate for driving license).
There is also occasionally a small medical station inside or just outside the DLT compound that offers certificates, but availability varies and it is not guaranteed to be open. Relying on the independent clinics on Phahonyothin Road is the safer bet.
Nearby landmarks: Chatuchak Park, JJ Mall, Or Tor Kor Market.
Bangkok: The Other Area Offices (Phra Khanong, Bang Khun Thian, Taling Chan, Nong Chok)
Beyond the Chatuchak headquarters, Bangkok has four other DLT area offices. Any of them can issue a driving license to a foreigner, and all four see far fewer applicants than Chatuchak. Unlike Chatuchak, none of them has a documented cluster of clinics at the gate — get your medical certificate before you travel, from any licensed clinic or hospital, and do not count on a medical station inside the compound.
DLT Bangkok Area 3 — Phra Khanong / Bang Chak (Sukhumvit 62)
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | 2479 Sukhumvit Road, opposite Soi Sukhumvit 62/1, Bang Chak, Phra Khanong, Bangkok 10260 |
| Nearest BTS | Bang Chak (a few hundred metres along Sukhumvit Road) |
| Phone / listed hours | 02-332-9688 · Mon–Fri 7:30–15:30 |
| Medical certificate | Bring it with you — any clinic issues the form in minutes (100–300 THB); no medical station is guaranteed on site |
This is the office most people mean by "DLT Bang Chak" or "the Sukhumvit 62 DLT", and the natural choice if you live along Sukhumvit, Thong Lo, Ekkamai, On Nut or Bang Na. Earlier versions of this guide described an "Ekkamai DLT" on Sukhumvit 63 — there is no DLT office on Ekkamai Road. Full details: DLT Bangkok Area 3 office guide.
DLT Bangkok Area 1 — Bang Khun Thian (Rama 2), for the Thonburi side
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | 1005 Bang Khun Thian-Chai Thale Road, Tha Kham, Bang Khun Thian, Bangkok 10150 — off Rama II Road |
| Phone / listed hours | 02-415-7337 · Mon–Fri 7:30–15:30 |
| Getting there | No BTS or MRT within walking distance — Grab from BTS Bang Wa or Wutthakat |
| Medical certificate | Bring it with you (100–300 THB at any clinic); do not rely on services inside the compound |
Area 1 is the office for Bang Khun Thian, Thonburi, Khlong San, Rat Burana and Yan Nawa, and expat guides consistently describe it as less crowded than Chatuchak. Earlier versions of this guide listed a "Bang Rin DLT" in Thonburi — no such office exists. West-bank residents further north (Taling Chan, Bangkok Noi, Bang Phlat, Bang Khae) have their own office, DLT Bangkok Area 2 at Taling Chan, and far-east Bangkok (Min Buri, Lat Krabang, Bueng Kum) uses DLT Bangkok Area 4 at Nong Chok, which opens at 8:30. Full details: DLT Bangkok Area 1 office guide.
Pattaya DLT Office
The Pattaya DLT office handles a large volume of foreign applicants, particularly from the European, British, and Scandinavian expat communities.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | Sukhumvit Road (Highway 3), Nong Prue, between Pattaya and Jomtien |
| Clinics nearby | 2–3 clinics on Sukhumvit Rd and Soi Khao Noi |
| Medical cert price | 100–200 THB |
| From central Pattaya | 15–20 min by motorbike taxi/songthaew |
Clinics near the Pattaya DLT are found along Sukhumvit Road and on Soi Khao Noi, which runs off Sukhumvit near the DLT office. Staff at these clinics are very familiar with serving foreigners and many speak basic English.
Chiang Mai DLT Office
The Chiang Mai DLT office is one of the busiest DLT offices in Northern Thailand and serves a large community of expats, digital nomads, and retirees.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | Suthep Road (Highway 1004), ~5 km west of Old City |
| Clinics nearby | 2+ clinics on Suthep Rd between DLT and CMU campus |
| Medical cert price | 80–150 THB (cheapest major city) |
| Alternative | CM Mediclinic or Boston Health (Nimmanhaemin area, 200–400 THB, English service) |
Clinics are located along Suthep Road between the DLT office and the Chiang Mai University campus area. At least two small clinics are within a 10-minute walk of the DLT entrance. Prices in Chiang Mai are generally lower than Bangkok.
For English-language service, CM Mediclinic and Boston Health Clinic in the Nimmanhaemin area both offer medical certificates with full English support, though they are further from the DLT and charge 200–400 THB.
Arriving early is essential at the Chiang Mai DLT — the office starts taking queue numbers at 8:00 AM and popular slots fill up fast. Get your medical certificate before 8:00 AM and head straight to the queue.
Phuket DLT Office
The Phuket DLT office is located in Thalang district, in the northern part of the island — somewhat remote compared to the main tourist areas.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | Thepkasattri Road (Highway 402), Thalang district |
| Clinics nearby | 1–2 clinics on Thepkasattri Rd near the DLT |
| Medical cert price | 150–250 THB |
| From Patong Beach | ~30 min by car/taxi |
| Alternatives in Phuket Town | Vachira Hospital (govt, 100–200 THB), Bangkok Hospital Phuket (400–700 THB) |
Clinics near the Phuket DLT are fewer in number compared to Bangkok or Chiang Mai, but at least one or two small clinics operate on Thepkasattri Road near the DLT. Alternatively, you can get a medical certificate at Vachira Phuket Hospital (a government hospital in Phuket Town) or Bangkok Hospital Phuket before heading to the DLT.
Hua Hin DLT Office
Hua Hin is a popular destination for retirees and long-stay expats, particularly from Scandinavian countries. The DLT office here is smaller and generally less crowded than Bangkok or Chiang Mai, making it a relatively pleasant place to apply for a driving license.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | Phetkasem Road (Highway 4), Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan |
| Clinics nearby | 1–2 clinics along Phetkasem Road |
| Medical cert price | 100–200 THB |
| Alternatives | Hua Hin Hospital (govt, 100–150 THB), San Paulo Hospital (private, 300–400 THB, English) |
Small clinics that specialize in medical certificates for driving license applicants are located along Phetkasem Road within a short drive. The government-run Hua Hin Hospital on Phetkasem Road charges around 100–150 THB. For English service, San Paulo Hua Hin Hospital offers certificates for 300–400 THB.
For applicants in the greater Prachuap Khiri Khan area, including Pranburi and Pak Nam Pran, the Hua Hin DLT is the most accessible office. Plan to get your medical certificate either the day before or early on the morning of your DLT visit.
