Glad to hear it finally worked out. FWIW, I do have my receipt and I did pay 505 baht for my five-year driver's license, plus another 100 baht for the picture/laminated card. I believe the lower fee you paid is for the initial, one-year license. Most say to wait until after your license expires to renew it. Mine expired on June 6, I renewed it successfully on June 7.
