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.

Hua Hin DLT Office
