I wouldn't exactly call Prasat the sticks but the battle axe that runs Surin DLT can be a bitch.

Teerak was issued a new five year car licence today in Surin city to replace the two year temporary one. She got the medical certificate and all she then had to do was the colour perception test and forms/photo. 505 baht.
No reaction test or videos to watch. Also lucky she wasn’t asked to take the practical again! She suspects they’re a little swamped hence the short cutting of the procedure ?

You wouldn’t call it the sticks because you live out in the Boonies

26/11/19 Renewed 5 year drivers license Prasat DLT. Started process 9:50 AM, all three DLT officials were busy, two Ladies, one Man, took a few minutes for one of the ladies to collect my paperwork. They wanted Passport, Thai drivers license, Yellow House book, Pink ID card and copies of each (Just ID - photo page of the passport) Told me to come back at 1 PM to finish process. 10:30 AM went to Prasat for a little lunch & etc. Back at 1 PM for Thai language Video with English captions. After video Passed the 4 tests, reaction breaking reflex time, colorblindness, depth perception test and peripheral vision. Primitive testing equipment but effective. Left with the new drivers license about 4 PM.
Did not need medical certificate or other copies of the Passport pages I took with me. They put the number that's on my pink ID card on the drivers license, Not my passport number.

Not having your passport number on the DL is a distinct advantage. You can most probably check into most hotels in Thailand using the pink ID card (despite it only being valid in the province of issue), and because your passport number will therefore not be recorded by the hotel, you will not be troubled with the absurd rules re TM30's and the like
Only Nok Air at Buriram airport refused the Pink ID card as ID (despite it being in my home province) Have used it on many occasions at Don Mueang (with both Air Asia and Nok) and at many hotels in Thailand.

Have your passport with you - just in case

Slightly crossed wires... Both jp surin's new driving licence and his Pink ID card do not show the passport number. Both can normally be used for checking into a hotel in lieu of passport

Where? Same place that I obtained the yellow book?

Where your wife renews her ID card. The usual procedure is that they print the pink cards during the last hour of the working day, as they need to change the settings from Thai ID card to Pink Card. A nominal charge of 60baht is applied, I think, though they charged me nothing.
