Direct Answer

THB 800 per licence, 2 business days. NSW/VIC/QLD/WA all accept NAATI-translated Thai licences to drive for the first 3 months and to convert to a local licence without a re-test (state rules apply).

A Thai driving licence with NAATI translation is a top-3 order.

Australian usage: [First 3 months] drive anywhere in Australia with the Thai licence + NAATI translation on hand. [After 3 months] convert to a local licence — (a) NSW: Service NSW → 30 minutes to a NSW licence with no test if the Thai licence is current; (b) VIC: VicRoads → 30-question knowledge test + eye test; (c) QLD: TMR → immediate Class C, no test; (d) WA: DoT → eye + hazard perception test.
