How did you buy it. Online or in-person. What docs/information did they ask for.

For the motorbike license they took both the originals of the Residency Certificate (RC) and the Drivers Medial Certificate. You have to submit the originals.

I went to buy a Motorcycle yesterday. I'll probably buy one in the next few days. So when I asked what I need to get start once I decide who I will buy from she noted, Passport, VISA & Drivers License, nothing regarding Residency Certificate (RC).

Bank transfers for the transactions only.

The dealer also handles all the registration paperwork including registering you with the DLT that you own the bike and attaching plates.

I thought my Residency Certificate (RC) was a pass to the entire amusement park of Thailand! Looks like you have to buy a ticket for each ride.

Like coffee; there are these Westernized coffee shops like Amazon Cafe, but I go to this little shop with simple chairs for coffee and rice treats wrapped in banana leaves.

I love it. It’s so simple, they are so gracious. That’s what I’m trying say. I just like supporting the local small business.

Yes, I’ve talked with guys who confirm until you get the hang of it you’ll pay the Falang price for awhile. Not good, not bad, just is.

Plus I could express an interest over a few days and see how low the price might get. You know, “Can we make a deal, yet?”

Yes, places open then they just sit and wait. I heard from a Thai the government promotes everyone have a business. Many of the roadside businesses are lent the property for free to promote business growth. They still have to build out and pay utilities, etc.

I’m a retired businessman so I know who and where you spend your money promotes the growth in that direction.
