TLDR : Answer Summary

To transfer a car from one private party to another in Thailand, both parties should complete the necessary paperwork at the Department of Land Transport (DLT). It's recommended that both individuals attend the DLT together, bringing their passports, ID cards, and a certificate of residence. Additionally, two signed copies of all documents are required. Ensure to sign in the designated areas on the forms and consider taking extra copies home.

Ask this question at the DLT, both of you there. Take passports, ID cards, certificate of residence and 2 signed copies of everything.

Sign the forms where they tell you to sign the forms. Take any excess copies home for next time.

Bob's your uncle - done.
