Hey guys.. not really a visa info thing, and it’s a bit left of field for this group..but I was wondering if it was possible too get my custom built trike registered/licensed in Thailand, obviously it has all the lights ( ie headlights, taillights indicators etc although not depicted in this pic)..I want to bring it with me when I retire there and use it…and I’m unsure of who or where too approach finding that info out, and was wondering if any ex-pats have imported their own bikes, modified or not and the process they went through to getting them on the road there…cheers guys🍺, any legit info greatly appreciated..🤘🏻
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the possibility of registering a custom-built trike in Thailand, interested by an expat contemplating retirement there. Several comments suggest that importing vehicles has become increasingly difficult or illegal due to stringent regulations, with hints that bringing in a vehicle in parts may be a workaround. However, there are risks associated with this method, including potential confiscation and legal implications. Many advise checking with legal experts or shipping agents before proceeding. The discussion touches on the complexities of Thai vehicle laws, especially for modified or custom vehicles, and suggests that purchasing or building a vehicle locally might be a more viable option.
