Is there a law that requires the seller to pay the gov a tax on the sale price of a used motorbike to another person? (I had heard there may be a new law but cannot find anything.... and some sellers may request cash payment to avoid this)? (not sure if it matters but this would be a 2021 bike from a Thai to a foriegner...)

I am buying a motorcycle to ride for a few weeks on this trip, then store it here and come back later this year. (I live in USA.) I can get full coverage insurance on the bike with medical coverage but wonder if I should just get the basic coverage to save $$ (since it is in storage for many months), and get medical for myself for each trip I take here (then I have it when not on the motobike)? I wonder if anyone had suggestions for decent medical coverage for short term visits (few weeks to few months, and later maybe longer)? I need to be sure it would cover me in a car or motorbike also. I am in good health, no conditions, etc. It may not make any economic sense (?), and maybe best to get medical (short term) and have the medical option on the bike insurance too. Thanks!

Ah the inconsistency here is ... frustrating 🙂 I may try the Nonthaburi office myself if i can get a TM30 from my friend. Was hoping to find an agent ntat can do all.... Curious what an embassy letter does... I have not read that anywhere when Googling 🙂

Ah you may be right.. it was posted after a large Interest payment.. so the tax was on that i suspect.

I am in Nonthaburi on a tourist 60 day exemption. Want to buy a motobike and need a residence certificate also. My condo guy will not do a TM30 for short stay (i am hoping to hit the road later o the bike I want to buy), so i need an agent who can do that and get me the residence certificate. I read they can get it in real time but sounds like now you get it mailed to you? Any suggestions on an agent that can get this done? (TM30 ad RC)?

I have a Bangkok Bank account. I just transferred over a large amount from my USA bank using Wise in late December and notice a Tax line item on my bank statement about a week later for about .3% of the that amount but not sure it's related.

My son is thinking about getting his MBA in Bangkok (USA citizen and undergrad degree soon). I've done lots of research and found a few in Bangkok that offer what appears to be decent tri-semester programs for international students in English. However some are part time, and require work experience first. But I would like to chat with anyone that has personal experience or find independent resources that review/rank these universities. I haven't been able to find anything reliable yet. Out list includes: Assumption, Stamford, AIT, NIDA, Chulalongkorn, SIAM, Bangkok U. Some of their websites are lacking information so we await responses to emails. Chulalongkorn has the Sasin school but seems outrageously expensive. Their website implied there is another MBA program there however (but waiting for clarification). We will continue to look for info/videos, etc, online but welcome thoughts and experiences. Thanks.
