Right, remember WISE is not a bank so its not insured if it goes belly up. They say your money is safe but who knows until that statement is tested. The goal is to be my own bank.

From the comments I’ll keep my WISE account. Any other alternatives to WISE worth having as a secondary reserve of accessible money. I did not want to keep all my funds in one app in case they go bust.

Wow, not here she pulled out the plate package with registration and only asked for Passport, Visa and Drivers License. Maybe we did not get far enough along in the process for her to say, "Oh yeah we need RC too"?

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