Starman the problem comes with reading the numbers in the circles of dots on the machine.  Some people just can't see the numbers, like me.  But I am not color blind if given other tests.  I just wonder if there are options.

There are no number !!



For the Colour blindness test you stand at about 3 meters from a circle with various points of different sizes and colours. The instructor indicates a point and you have to say the colour.

DD,if you are really worried then here is what you can do.

Go to BRY test centre. It is just next to the private hospital. Sign up for a course of lessons. Pay the fee for the course ,2500 baht, and they will get you a licence.

In Buriram they use the traffic light also. Minor problem is that it is so old that the colours are faded. Until you have seen both the red and the Amber it is difficult to tell the colour it is meant to be.

I read in the Bangkok Post today that Non Thais can only have a driving licence if they are under 80 kilos. The powers that be reckon fat people ( especially farangs ) have problem steering their car  as there big fat gut gets in the way . :blink:



Looks like some members here may have to go on a diet

When I went I had to learn my colours in Thai as they don't speak English .I have made a list below to help you pass your test . :biggrin:

RED
=       Sii lŭeang

GREEN=   Sii daeng

BLUE=     Sii kĭao

RED=      Sii náam ngern

Good luck  thumbup

Westlife thanks for the help.  I do see the outline of Dr. Evil's spaceship in the photo you provided.  I may be better at this than I originally thought.!!
