YES

Yes, I bought a new car in January, a week after getting my Retirement Non O

what’s required to get residency certificate?

I hope so. I bought one.

Silly question

Work permit book if it has your address on it.

Yes

Many car an Bike in Bangkok area have been in accident and the km are not correct …. Be carefull….

Ask for service book

And go to a car Repair shop and let them control if it been in accident… hard to find a buyer when you want to sell so you end upp going to a cardealer . And Will lose a lot off mony

I drive

Yes can buy a used car or bike quite easy, just don't buy anything that does not have a full book, if no book it's a risk that it's stolen, if only front photocopy of book then there is probably a loan against the car/bike, so I strongly advise you avoid these kinds of purchase, any reasonable owner or dealer is generally willing to go to the transport office with you to transfer ownership, do note that if the item is registered in a different province then you will need to pay for the transfer, for a bike it's between 4-5k baht, don't know for a car and also it can take a couple of months for the new book to get to you, also watch out for anything that has missing tax, if it's more than 3 years or very close too I would avoid because after 3 years re-registration is required and I understand that's a pain, but only a couple of years is ok and can pay the back tax easy enough, but also note that you can take anything to the test centre and get a new test and do the tax a couple of months early and for a bike of 150cc it's under 1k baht for all, for cars I think it's 10-15k depending on car type and engine size, I would also advise you to get a full Thai license, it's simple enough and you won't require an agent, cost for both car and bike if do yourself is under 1k baht, if they require you to do the theory test I think there is a small extra charge and I strongly advise you do the practice tests online, easy enough to find, because some questions do not translate well. If you want to do the license make your first stop the local DVT office to get an appointment because they are quite busy and they will also give a list of what you need to prepare to get your licenses.
