    Serious Discussion About Import Bikes Without Green Book

    in Motorcycles in Thailand

    Posted

    Police / Customs does NOT have the authority to confiscates your bike without the Green Book as long as you can provide Invoice and tax papers. This has clearly informed of a very high police man in Khon Kaen (who rides a big Harley by the way).

    They can give you a fine for driving without license plates, nothing else. They can NOT confiscates the bike, I have been customs checked 2 times, once in Maha Sarakam and once in Khon Kaen. I showed them copy of Invoice and tax papers. I did not get fined for not having license plates, they just turned and walked on. Why? Because they can not do anything to you or your bike.

    You get also registered insurance on a bike without number plates, they take only frame and engine numbers then you have insurance on your bike without the Green Book;-)

    What then is the purpose to make a Greenbook of an imported motorcycle, if Greenbooken not 100% legal? From what I understand there is talk of replica Green Book, or is there opportunity to make a 100% legal Green Book?

    Serious Discussion About Import Bikes Without Green Book

    Want to have a serious discussion about importing bikes without Green Book, but that has all legal papers Invoice and tax papers.

    It is claimed that it will introduce a new law here in Thailand before the New Year 2012, and that big bikes without Green Book will not be worth more than scrap metal; -)

    It is also claimed by some that the police / customs authorities may confiscate bicycles without the Green Book with the new law in hand, which they have not had the opportunity yet to do ...

    My point is that this law can not have any effect or retrospectively bikes legally imported into Thailand, and that it also paid import tax on?

    I am one of those who drive a big bike without Green Book, and do understand that it is illegal to drive without a valid license plate.

    Some argue that a bicycle is legally imported into Thailand, but missing Green Book is legal on the road, while others argue the opposite;-)))

    I`m not looking to hear what people THINK, I'm looking for documents FACTS !!!

    Please come with serious ideas and hold you to topics that are addressed thanks;-)

    Authorities Deny Us And Sell Any Alcohol Because...

    in General Topics

    Hey, come in a slightly awkward situation with my new coffee and restaurant. Authorities deny us and sell any alcohol because we border a building currently leases to a technical school (branch to the main school in Khon Kaen) so that students do not journey into Khon Kaen.

    But what do you think would happen if we sell beer and whiskey from neighboring property? The neighboring land is owned by my wife's uncle. I had thought that we could advise customers that we are unfortunately not currently allowed to sell alcohol, but the staff will offer the service to buy your desired beverage to the customer from the neighboring plot and bring to them.

    NB!!! The authority allows the customer bring their own alcohol.

    The way I see it, the government refuses all sales of alcohol from the site adjacent to the school, while my wife's uncle plot not adjacent to school, and thus can not be refused the sale of alcohol.

    My wife asked the authorities here in Maha Sarakam if it was possible to circumvent this rule by doing as mentioned above, but was told that this practice was the same as if we were having sold alcohol from the Restaurant.

    I just can not understand that the Authority may deny employees of a restaurant to offer this service to purchase alcohol outside restaurant limits, and bringing drinks back?

    What is your opinion on the matter, someone with legal expertise in the area?
