Averages out to 60 bucks a year with one border run every 180 days can't say that's expensive in my opinion.
And is half the border runs.
Theyre also starting to give people alot of 💩 for staying here using border runs or flying in and out to reset from what I keep getting posted.
Bit I also think in not to long the DTV will be getting harder to get due to rampant fraud and abuse.
It's all a roll of the dice but since they went to the 60 from 30 they've definitely been cracking down on the why are you trying to live in Thailand on a visa exempt status .
The dealer should help you with registration and minimum insurance you'll definitely need a residency certificate wich you can get easy at local amphoe office where you live.
License wise depends on what cc you may need a motorcycle license wich again is easy to get of you already have one on your home country.
Or use an agent have the license part done in a day you'll still have to take a few easy tests and spend about an hour to get the license .
I have DTV for now but I see it becoming an issue with the gov soon do to rampant fraud wich you can even see on here daily woch is definitely going to cause a crackdown and rule changes in the future 🤦♂️
You're already a step ahead with a thai bank account as well!
