What do I need to register a motorbike in my name?
Answer summary
To register a motorbike in Thailand, you will need to present a variety of documents at the Land Transport Office. These include:
1. The motorbike itself.
2. The vehicle ownership booklet (green book).
3. Your passport, along with signed copies of the passport info and visa pages.
4. A residence certificate from Immigration or your embassy, or alternatively, a work permit.
5. An application form signed by the seller.
6. If the seller is Thai, you'll need a signed copy of their national ID, or if they are foreign, a signed copy of their passport info and visa pages.
Additionally, having the current owner present can simplify the transfer process.

The buyer needs to bring the following to the Land Transport Office:
Vehicle
Vehicle ownership booklet (green book)
Passport
Signed copies of passport info page and visa page
Residence Certificate from Immigration or your embassy (or a work permit)
Application form signed by the seller (form available at the office)
In addition, you’ll need either of the following from the seller:
Signed copy of national ID card if the seller is a Thai citizen
Signed copy of passport info and visa pages if the seller is a foreigner
I might add that this can be made easier if the current owner listed on the green book comes with you to the Land Transport Department to make the transfer.
