because it's not totally legal and she said old companies seem to be fine but setting up new ones just for house purchase they are being scrutinized more.

I went with the house in my name and a long term lease in a Thai friends name for the land .

Definitely speak to a lawyer . I bought a house 2 ISH years ago and my lawyer said they would set me up a company if I really wanted too, but strongly recommend I didn't go that way .

should be fine . I registered my first bike to a hotel in Chiang Mai on a tourist visa .

If you buy off a dealer they should help with registration ( for a cost) or private you can go to the DLT office yourself or most used car/ bike dealers will do it for you for a fee even if you didn't buy it from them .

You should have no issues buying a car or motorcycle on a tourist visa . Unless you are trying to register it in Bangkok.

You need a resident certificate to put it in your name and Bangkok won't give one without a long term visa and having done a 90 day report.

Everywhere else should be fine.

If you have the money don't use an agent . You need to provide the same bits of paperwork for either so do it yourself and save a ton of money . Immigration are very helpful.

Go to the lowest level of the airport and then left down the ramp
