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.

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?
