Hi everyone,
I bought a motorbike and went to the Land Transportation Office 1 in Chiang Mai to register it in my name.
They told me I need to go to the Fang District branch (สำนักงานขนส่งจังหวัดเชียงใหม่ สาขาฝาง), where the bike was originally registered.
I have the green book, signed transfer papers, and a copy of the seller’s ID ready.
Has anyone here done this before or had to go through the same process?
Can I do the ownership transfer and deregister the bike there, and then register it under my name back in Chiang Mai?
Also, if I really have to make the 3-hour ride up there, any tips or nice stops on the way?
Might turn it into an overnight trip and a little tour 😅
Thanks a lot!
