TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about two main issues regarding scooters in Thailand: first, whether they need written permission from their Thai girlfriend to use her scooter despite having a Thai driving license, and second, what documents are required from immigration to purchase a motorbike, specifically mentioning the need for a residence certificate.

Yeah, different rules too. Bangkok requires you to be on a Non-Immigrant visa and have completed 1 in person 90 day report. Most other immigrations offices don't though.
