UPD Minburi
มีนบุรี Min Buri, Bangkok 10510
If you need a license and live east of the city center, this is the nearest branch in the UPD network. Book the car course at ฿6,500 for the full 15-hour program. The one-on-one practical format means you drive with an instructor beside you for every road session, not in rotation with other students.
You walk into a Min Buri driving school that runs on Department of Land Transport accreditation and a structured 15-hour curriculum split between theory and road work. UPD Minburi is one branch in a Bangkok-wide network, and the format here mirrors the system across all locations: five hours of classroom instruction covering traffic law, safety techniques, and emergency procedures, then ten hours behind the wheel with a dedicated instructor.
The car course costs ฿6,500. Motorcycles run ฿2,000 for the same 15-hour structure. Every practical session is one-on-one. You are not sharing the wheel or waiting your turn in a rotation, you are driving with supervision for the full block. The instructors guide you through vehicle operation fundamentals, the exam maneuvers the Department of Land Transport tests, and supervised road driving in real traffic.
You need to be 18 or older to enroll. Medical screening is required before you start, covering color vision, peripheral vision, and depth perception. Bring your national ID, proof of residence, recent passport photos, and medical certification when you register. The school operates 8AM to 5PM daily, including weekends.
Min Buri sits far east in Bangkok. If you live in Sukhumvit or central districts, the commute will take an hour or more depending on traffic. The location works best for residents in the eastern suburbs or those willing to travel for a Department-accredited school that offers weekend availability and structured one-on-one road time without the usual rotation queues.
