TLDR : Answer Summary
You do not need a Thai driving license to buy a car in Thailand. However, a residence certificate is required to register the car in your name. While it's not mandatory, some insurance companies may ask to see a driving license. It's important to note that an international driver's license can be valid for driving, but obtaining a Thai driving license is advisable for long-term stays.

No! Only to drive one.

In the USA you don’t need a license to BUY it , but you’ll need a licensed driver to pick it up or transported without driving . Probably the same here.

NO

No, but I would highly recommend you get a license, especially if you’re you are going to be doing most of the driving, and get the insurance in your name. Oh, get a dashcam too!
if you buy a car or motorcycle privately, what documents do you need to change the ownership of the vehicle?? I have heard about needing a residence certificate, a signed copy of the passport, if it's a foreigner, or Thai ID for a Thai, fill a form out, and maybe have an inspection at the land and transport office, I assume it's all done at your local land and transport office, where your residence certificate was issued.
