If you want to buy a car in Thailand, you need the following documents:
Armed with this papers you go to the car or motorbike dealer and buy a car or motorbike. The shop will usually do all the registration stuff for you and outside Bangkok it can take up to 6 month before you finally get your plate number and registration papers. But don't worry you can drive your car in the meantime with a temporary (red) plate number. Now, when you bring your Thai partner with you, the dealer will tell you that it would be so much easier to buy the car on the name of your Thai partner. Then, if you deny, your Thai partner will probably be upset and not talk to you for a couple of days or so. It's best to go on your own when you buy a car or motorbike.
Do not, under no circumstances buy or register a car on a Thai name, if you are the one paying for it. No exceptions!If you are on low budget and you want to buy second hand from a Thai, make sure he paid the taxes for it, otherwise you will be presented with the tax bill for the last 5 years or so. © Copyright: 2011-2012: Gerd Winterfeld, Living-In-Thailand.com |
