Finalise the deal at some nearby motorbike shop. They know what to do and will provide all forms and do the transfer for you, for a very small fee.

What are the steps to convert a UK driving license to a Thai driving license in Bangkok, and should I use an agency?

Carsten ************

I recommend a visit at the nearest driving school. They will assist you and provide all information about the tasks you need to arrange by yourself anyway. An agent isn't needed.

The driving school will charge peanuts only.

What tax information is needed for U.S. passport holders transferring bank accounts in Thailand?

Carsten ************

I once needed a bank statement for non-o extension. 1 out of 12 transfers from overseas came marked domestic, via TransferWise. I had to visit my home branch. I know from others, there are more tasks refused by some "not home branch".

Is it illegal to rent a condo in Thailand for less than a month?

Carsten ************

@Lynnette ******

what's your difficulty in understanding the word "illegal "? There exists a so called "condominium act". For renting out less than a month you need a Hotel licence. Condominiums aren't a Hotel, except of a small number of Condotels.
