You must have non-imm visa and proof of address

To obtain a Thai driving licence you must have the appropriate visa, along with a letter from immigration confirming your address. So, if, as I understand your post, you were thinking of coming here on a brief visit, basically to obtain a licence, I don't think it would work. Having said that, must admire your devious thinking, as I am sure that a trip to Thailand, with all it's many pleasures, would still work out cheaper, and certainly more enjoyable, than a course of lessons with the British School of Motoring.

Make sure you're in good health before you go in for one as the "doctor" will probably ask how you feel before he signs the form.

No need, being a Swede, they will automatically assume that to be true!

Go ask them first what they require
Sometimes with authorities here, a test from a private hospital isn't recognised, it has to be from a govnmt hospital.
