Does anyone have experience getting a Thai Driver's license? I had an international DL, but figured I might as well get a Thai license.

Here's what I have so far. If anyone sees something I'm missing, please let me know.
1. Med Check up (cheap, took about an hour)
2. Valid USA driver's license (copy of front and back)
3. Valid passport (copies of all important pages)
4. I do not have a valid international driver's license
5. Verification of residency form. (Will be done later this week. You have to make an appointment, walk-ins don't work. Also, the embassy is only open for 1 hour in the afternoon; 1-2pm)
6. Filled in thai driver's license form

That covers it. I think I have everything I need. Will I need to take a thai driver's test?
Thanks in advance.
