I'm looking at buying a motorcycle from a Thai person this week, it would be shipped to my province (Lampang) from Bangkok area. Mutual Thai friend checked it out, all is good with buyer, shipping, bike, etc. but..

How does it work to transfer bike from Thai person shipped to me the foreigner (Retirement visa, Thai DL)? Is it easy once we sign something online, and the bike is already here for me to go into office or is there something else to think about?

Hi. I wanted to buy a motorcycle yesterday. Used. After the test drive, when I was determined, I told the seller that we could sign a contract. He replied that it wasn't necessary. He gave me a green book, a copy of his ID card and said I didn't need a contract. Of course, I didn't agree and resigned. Later I read on the Internet that you need a lot more paperwork than I thought. There must be an agreement, that is obvious, but there must also be a house book and a letter to deregister and change the name. Can anyone confirm this?

Hello, I am a foreigner and I have my Thai drivers license and I also have my residency certificate to purchase a motorbike. I want to buy a used motorbike. What documents to I need to make sure the seller gives me, so that I can transfer to my name at the DLT. I want to make sure I get all proper papers.

I need to pay taxes on my bike for another year. Can I just show up with my Green Book and pay or do I have to bring other documents with me. Like copies of Passport and Visa etc.
