- Not eat any food after 8 pm on the day before the Medical Examination. Applicants can drink a little water if it is really necessary.
- Applicants must wear shirt and tie, and bring their application ID, Thai ID card, and some pens, pencils, and erasers.
- It is not difficult to pass. The doctors are very strict about eyes, ears, and blood. If you are not sure or if you think you a problem, it is a very good idea to check your health 2 or 3 months before you have the examination. If you drink or smoke, it is also a very good idea to stop or limit it. If you cannot pass the easiest step to be a pilot, you will not be happy, so it is up to you to follow the advice above.

INTERVIEW BY THE PILOT SELECTION COMMITTEE: Please check dates with your branch of the military.

(This usually includes solving mathematics problems.)
