Another dumb question but one my dumbness needs an answer to.
I'm planning to buy a second hand motor for a decent amount of coin. How do I go about paying for it through my bank account without withdrawing a large amount of cash?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To pay for a second-hand motorbike without withdrawing large amounts of cash, you have several options. You can use your bank's mobile app to make a direct transfer, possibly increasing any daily limits if needed. Alternatively, you can obtain a cashier's cheque from your bank. Other methods include using QR code payments via banking apps like Kbank or considering offshore transfer options if relevant. This approach helps avoid handling large cash sums.

What you're describing is called a loan! If you have assets offshore an ACH or ABA transfers from your home country are cheaper than a bank wire transfer. Set up a foreign exchange account with a company like Wise and you'll have several options.
Yes and a new one is quite reasonable. My Thai lady friend just bought a new one online for her daughter in university. The price included delivery to Nakon Pathon from BKK.
I bought my car the way Stuart suggested. I had to increase the daily limit to cover the amount, but it worked with Bkk bank. Failing that, I think you can go into your bank and get some sort of payment mandate to cover the exact amount (apologies I don't know what it's called, it seems such an old fashioned method), but the bank will charge you for the service.
