Do you know how vehicle ownership is registered in Thailand ? Seems not - so I will clarify it again ... The blue book has the GF name as the vehicle owner, so ... She is the owner. No 'are you sure', receipts prove who PAID for the car, not who owns it, which brings us back to ... And yes, in this country, it is as 'easy' as that. Go to the DLT and ask them - who has their name in the book is the owner.

Takata declared bankruptcy. How do you get blood from a stone ?

Some people have an Ego which will not tolerate anyone disagreeing with them on any matter, no matter how small and/or trivial. They go on Ad Infinitum when the first challenge appears to what they say, what they do, what they think, ... I think their biological clock keeps on ticking, but the maturity one stopped when they were about 12 years old. So they pout, show Arrogance, belittle others, just to salve that black-and-blue bruised core of their Ego.

When I bought my first car here - which I still own - went to Immigration and paid the 500 THB for fast track. On a Tourist Visa, staying in a guest house on Jomtien Soi 4 - right handy to Imm too. Provided a letter from said guest house attesting I was a resident there. And was issued a Certificate of Residence - imagine that !

Trumps my Captain !!! 555

The average wax lasts around 3 months, but can last as little as a couple or weeks, or up to a year https://autocarehq.com/how-long-car-wax-lasts-and-when-to-reapply-with-examples/

Your 'understanding' is flawed, as I have detailed above. U need $$$ to buy a car - think a seller cares about your 'work permit' or COR ? A letter of residence is 500 THB if you do not want to wait. Available the next day.

In my dealings with the RTP I have found them to be accommodating. Speak politely, or better yet get your significant other to do so if your Thai is as bad as mine. Her brother is a police Captain so ... Never had a problem - in town, on the highway, after accidents, on my own - Nada

I never get speeding tickets via camera - Google is your friend for the ways and means.

Saw a pic a few years ago - pickup on the back of a Ro Ro wrecker - speed camera took a license plate pic of the truck being hauled, not the one driving !!! 555 You should have no problem disputing the ticket.

Modern cars have the wire insulation made from soybeans. Since aprox the 90's. Hence the increase in rodents chewing them. Ain't the copper they want. You can thank Greta and all the other tree huggers for the increased use of 'environment friendly' wiring.

The Law is clear - it is the GF's car. No judge will ever rule in the foreigners name on this basis alone. You have no proof - or way to prove - that if she said "He bought it for me and then took it away" she is not correct. That is all she has to say, and you will be forced by the court to return HER car to her - and most likely pay ALL court costs. Just put it down to the continuing cost of your education.

Get a Yellow house book and the Pink ID card that goes with it. That should cure your problems.

i found it with a google search - first entry

I bought my HD, 2006, on a tourist visa. It had a BKK plate on it, which it still does. Changed green book out by Regents school. Zero problems. Registered bikes and cars in many provinces - Udon Thani, Songkhla, Hua Hin, Rayong, etc etc etc with zero problems. Never had a work permit in my life. For the last 5 or so years I have used my pink Thai ID card - so green and blue books have my name in Thai script.

You can for sure register a car or bike on a tourist visa - whoever told you it is not possible is a ... As the book is in your GF's name, no matter what receipts you have all she has to do is say that you 'gave' the car to her. The onus will be on you to prove otherwise. This will involve the courts, most likely need a lawyer, and the bill will approach or exceed what you paid for the car. As well as take a very long time - years most likely if the GF fights it. Which it appears she is doing.

I have done some of mine over 30 days before expiry. I use the private inspection stations, and have them perform safety check, and take my blue book to DLT to pay road tax and compulsory insurance. They will date the new tax and insurance starting date on the same day as it is listed to expire in the blue book.

You mean Honda Waves are not sold anymore - they are semi auto !!! 555

I just did the same - The Hobbitt and Lord of the Rings Extended versions showed up on TPB. Quite a slog but some interesting scenes that were deleted from the theatrical releases.

I'll say it is strange ! Bet he never rode a Knuck with no front brake, foot clutch !

Dukes having a set menu - no Buffet this year

And how did you arrive at this conclusion ? Ford is well known to 'throw its customers under the bus' in N. America, Europe, Aus, etc etc etc Give it time - the "New, Improved" 10 speed will prove itself - or not.
