When you pay your road tax for the year, what type of insurance goes with it? Is it 3rd party insurance?

Cheers.

Very basic government required insurance, if a car i would suggest at least a class 2+ insurance

To get your car taxed you have to show proof of insurance first. Whatever insurance variant you go for, the obligatory government third class insurance will be paid for either by you or your insurance company separately. You can buy this yourself ,quickly, at one of the road side garages places with a sign showing the cog wheel, they will do all the paper work for you including vehicle testing if necessary (7 year old vehicle), about ฿1600.- I think. 

You can buy the mandatory vehicle insurance at testing locations as suggested by cooked, from a store front insurance broker, or from an "insurance desk" often found in or near Land Transportation offices. If you elect to buy better coverage, please consider buying both your optional policy and your mandatory policy with the same insurance company. In the event of an accident you would not want to have two different insurance companies with different agendas represent your single interest. One might want to cast blame on you and move forward, yet another insurance company might respect your rights to have a clean driving record and obtain a no claims discount next premium period.

Thanks for the advice. I probably should have looked into this previously. Anyway, I have a motorcycle which is fully insured, I also have accident insurance which covers a motorcycle or any other accident, but I guess I should also go to my insurance co' and make sure I have 3rd party also.
