Hi I wanted to learn how to drive and I found a driving school on the soi going down to Sao Paulo Hospital from the Railway Road. SHe wanted a lot of money 4500 to make the licence. I then did it by myself in Pranburi and it cost me 165THB. With the driving school they want you to get your licence then practice.

Hope this helps mate

Can I get motorbike lessons in HH? Would it benefit insurance rates for me? Thanks for any help, folks.

Head inland over the railway track on the Pala U road. There is the big supermarket on your left. Just past it do not turn right with the majority of the traffic but keep straight ahead. About 150m on your right, at the end of a block as I recall, there is a driving school.

You'll see all the traffic sign stickers on their window.

Can anyone recommend a good "car" driving school for my Thai girlfriend to take some lessons please. I know this question has been asked before but when I searched the forum the answers I found were a year old.

I assume therefore that this is "the only" driving school in HH given that the thread was started a year ago and there are no other comments or suggestions.

My step son took a good few 'lessons' here..no real 'instructors'..the man with him each time was a 'dude' from the next street to ours. Just took him for a drive round each time.
Luckily I have a pick-up so could take him out and teach him what I believed he'd need to know/do.
I DO however, (same as any other 'institution' here) believe all Driving Schools have clout when it comes to
the driving test..I've witnessed this at Pranburi..
A dizzy Thai girl who during her test stops half way round the course to reply to an incoming txt on her phone is a classic case..needless to say the lady from the 'Driving School' who is present on the day to organise the whole 'circus' has no worries about her pupils not passing the test..again T.I.T.

Not sure what school or instructor my wife used, but it wasn't the place mentioned in this thread. Her instructor was actually a policeman, and as strange as it might sound, he did not have enough clout, at least not with her being unwilling to pay for her license - she FAILED. :shock: :laugh: Apparently she rolled too fat back when pulling away on an incline. She did a few more lessons to correct the fault, sat her test again, and passed. Even if I say so myself, she drives as well as anyone I know. Then again, her time in SA and in the UK could have something to do with that. In fact, she's already told me I make her nervous when I drive because I'm the same as the Thais :shock: :oops: - bloody cheek. :laugh: Hell, she expects me to indicate when I'm pulling out from our driveway onto a quite soi where there is NO other cars. :laugh:

:cheers:

You do realise you are cutting out 99.9% of the competition when you put 'good' in front of a service!
