Can a car be sold in Thailand for a currency other than THB?

[rose33]

Is there any requirement in Thailand that car transfers be for Thai baht?

 

(Expats selling between them may prefer to deal in a different currency.)

 

Thanks.

Of course not. You can pay in whatever the seller agrees to accept. Remember barter?

Next question. ????

I understand your point, but TIT ????. Logic and fairness play no predictable role here.

 

Madness and one-sided rules prevail here, especially for anything to do with farang and foreign currency.... ????. 

 

The transfer would only be legit if approved by Thailand's DLT; selling a car is not like selling a pushbike or a fridge. Hence the question.

Where are you located, What are you selling and how much are you asking?

Do you prefer the word 'recorded' to 'approved'? I'm talking about DLT updating the blue book ????.

16 all meat pizzas, and a dozen donuts frosted in gold should do it, recorded as an amount listed as FOOD

Looking at the DLT vehicle ownership transfer form right now. There is a blank space marked 'บาท' for entering the baht amount. No mention of market value equivalents... USD, cowrie shells, etc.

 

It would be much appreciated if someone knowledgeable & constructive could chime in, please ????

That at least is an answer. Thank you for at least answering.

 

But, may I ask why you say that? What's your opinion based on?
