What are the rules and regulations for foreign students to own a second-hand car in Thailand, and how do I transfer ownership?

Foreign students in Thailand can own a second-hand car, but they need to have a valid driving license. While an international driver's permit (IDP) is useful, it may not suffice beyond three months of residency; obtaining a local Thai driver's license is recommended for long-term stays. To transfer ownership of a second-hand car from a Thai individual to a foreigner, you require the car's Bluebook and must fill out standard title/ownership transfer forms. It's also advisable to secure a Certificate of Residence from Immigration, which necessitates proof of residence such as a rental agreement. Additional considerations include insurance coverage regulations tied to the type of driver's license held.
