KhunBENQ Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Short and precise Tax payment is imprinted to the blue book (last two pages or so). New sticker and receipt printed on one page are stapled to the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaidDown Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 1 minute ago, steve187 said: no a copy will do Correct. For the large number of vehicles that are on finance the 'owner' does not have the blue book in their possession, only a copy.. At Rayong LTD Drive Through window just presenting the old tax disc has been acceptable. The actual blue book is updated the next time it is presented to the LTD.

KhunBENQ Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I never stop learning and indeed not thought about the many "Bangkok" cars everywhere. Off topic: yesterday I saw the first Bangkok plate with a leading "9". When will they run out of numbers again and what kludge will they invent then.

No tax payment without having paid for compulsory insurance (your first walk). And all insurance companies are happy for a reason not to pay.

DaRoadrunner Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 You can pay the tax at ANY DLT office, no need to go to Bkk. They will want proof of insurance, plus an MOT test slip, plus blue book (not sure if copy will do?). If you are late paying, the fine is a pittance. I think its 7 baht / day! (I once taxed a car which was more than 3 years overdue!) After 3 years non payment they give you a new blue book and new plates...... I never found out why. Sometimes in Thailand it does not pay to ask, as the answer may hurt ones brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
