I am wondering.

If you sell second hands parts. 

Do you need a work permit for it ?

For example you have a motorbike and you modify the turn signal. And than you sell the orginal ones.

I know they will hunt you down or make a big deal about it. But just wondering about the law.😁

Answer summary

Selling second-hand motorcycle parts in Thailand may not require a work permit as long as it is not conducted as a formal business. Community comments suggest that casual selling, such as selling modified parts from a motorbike, is generally overlooked by authorities. However, there may be legal nuances, and awareness of regulations is advised.

Why would it be illegal? You could sell the whole bike or parts, makes no difference. Selling an item is neither "work" nor a "business". Do you really think Thai authorities are chasing after people on Facebook marketplace?

And what if you buy 50 bikes and you sell parts daily. It's even enough money to live from it in Thailand. Where is the limit? As I said before I don't think they Hunt you down I just wondering about the thai law.
