TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeks recommendations for agencies in Bangkok to assist with obtaining a TM30, certificate of residence, and Thai driving license. Several comments suggest that many of these processes can be handled personally at immigration offices, with some users advising against using agents due to potential hassle. Some mention specific agencies such as Nova International Law Firm and F.S. Consulting in Pattaya for similar services, while others emphasize the legal requirement for landlords to file TM30s and the simplicity of the processes involved.

Forget about the 90 day report. Just pay 60 bucks every year (or with DTV never since you leave anyway after half a year) and you feel free from the hassle and brainless government surveillance. You will thank me later. (I haven't done it for years and boy does it feel great to be free in the land of smiles)

The Landlord / owner of the place you are staying, has to do the TM30 ( by law ).

The residence certificat you get at the Immigration office ( if qualified )

Driving license you get at the DLT.

Yeah BKK is annoying for this. Had this problem trying to get Residence Certificate for buying new bike. Instead I came to Pattaya where it is super easy and can get on shorter term visa. I think in Chiang Mai as well you don't need long term visa.

 why not buy the car and then go to the provincial capital DLT in your province to get new plates for the car there when you transfer ownership? No need to go to DLT in Bangkok unless you're living there.

 I didn’t have a motorcycle license from home, so I took the motorcycle license the regular Thai way with theoretical and practical test in Thailand on a visa exemption in two days, but I needed a residence certificate.

(Not recommended if you don’t have experience which I had as smaller motorcycles was without license previously in Norway).
