No experience, but as it is a trike as opposed to a larger vehicle/car, one option might be to ship as parts then reassemble and register as a custom trike ‘built in Thailand’.

Obviously only applies if you want to drive on the roads. If you are only planning to use off-road or on your own land then registration becomes even less of an issue.

If you’re asking for advice on a topic, at least have the courtesy to structure your enquiry so that people don’t need to play guess the question!

Are you enquiring about a referral, a recommendation, a requirement, people’s general opinion or something else?

ahh my apologies, yes I see. I was mistaking the stamp given on the 9th of May for his exit stamp yesterday. I’ll go back to sleep now 😴

@Vernon ********

I’m still confused. He says he was at the border yesterday to stamp out and stamp in. Both would have been the 7th.

The Immigration Official was correct in this instance. You were on your 91st day.

A common mistake made by a lot of people is to think that their day of arrival is day 0. It is not, the day you arrive is day 1, therefore the 7th of August was your 91st day.

Think of it if as if you were on a day trip, you cannot enter the country for 0 days. Even if you only entered the country for 4 hours it would be classed as 1 day.

Sorry

, according to the comment above from Brandon Thurkettle, this method is no longer available. Apparently all visa applications have to be made online now.

Ahh my apologies, that shows how out of date I am!

If you’re back in Germany, and you have the time and ability to get to the Thai Embassy, the best option might be to apply for a 6-month Multi-Entry Tourist Visa. Being that you already have 3 Visa-on-Arrival stamps, you’ll effectively eliminate any risk of being turned away on your return or subsequent border runs.

I would be inclined to agree with

@Vic ********

here. I had a motorbike accident in Malaysia, and while I appreciate the finer details of the process may differ from Thailand it was a similar situation. Young driver in parents car, not indicating or checking before turning crosses my path and knocks me over.

I was riding an MT-07, had full insurance, and a very good relationship with my bike shop. I obtained my police report the same day, (required by law for any accident in Malaysia, not sure in Thailand) but regarding the claim, I opted not to pursue it.

I was told the insurance company would keep the bike for assessment purposes and basically hold it until the negotiation was concluded with the other party’s insurance company and although this was almost guaranteed to be in my favour it would take between 10-12 weeks to conclude. My bike shop (which also provided a crash/breakdown recovery service) quoted me the equivalent of THB 12k and 7 days to repair allowing for delivery of parts. To me it was a no brainer. His insurance company contacted me directly, asked if I was going to pursue and I said no, they asked me to sign a form confirming this and I said I wouldn’t be signing anything as I’d need to consult a lawyer as waiving my rights might cause future problems… But he stated if I wasn’t pursuing he would close the case. I never heard from them again and I was back on the road the following week.

I would get the police report (it will cover you against a counter claim). But unless covering the 15k is a problem for you, and/or you don’t need your bike for 2-3 months, I would get an agreement on Line from the other party that you will both cover your own damages (and save as evidence in case of a counter claim!) cross off one of your 9 lives and save yourself a world of grief 😉

It appears to be dictated by your nationality in my experience… Me being British, only asked once (upon check-in), but showing a credit card was sufficient to board. My Filipino wife however has been stopped and not allowed to board without an onward ticket, even when travelling with me… Fast forward a few years and her travelling alone with our daughter (dual nationality, travelling on her British Passport) she was never asked to produce an onward ticket again.
