What are the steps and requirements for buying a car in Thailand?

To buy a car in Thailand, you will need several key documents including a passport, a certificate of residency, and the vehicle's green book. If purchasing a used car, it's necessary to visit the Department of Land Transport (DLT) to transfer ownership. It's worth noting that buying a new vehicle can sometimes offer better deals during promotional motor shows. While buying a new car typically involves less hassle with paperwork, used cars can require additional documentation, especially for older models. It's advisable to have a local friend who speaks Thai accompany you during the car buying process to ease communication and negotiations.
