Lacessit Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Registration renewal is once a year, I would assume it expires when not renewed. Plenty of bikes in my GF's village that are not registered, because they rarely go outside the village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the number plate, would you have to re-register the bike in order to get a new plate and number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK you can't do anything at the DLT without the log book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It then has to be re-registered. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badrabbit Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 (edited) I've now been told that the bike is in the wife's name(she is in Thailand and not far from me) I'm sure now the bike can be made legal easily, we have a Satalite transport place close by, its safe at my house untill the wife sorts it. Helping others can sometimes become complicated, I am retired with time on my hands so it's not a problem.

digbeth Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 in most DLT, after three years of non-payment, the vehicle is 'off the road' and you are supposed to surrender the plate and logbook, to get it taxed and legal again you have to re-register on a new plate plus any fines and back taxes of the three years. you would need some 'convincing' for the DLT staff to jump through hoops to re-use the old number plate if it was special to you you can also voluntarily surrender the plate and stop paying any taxes earlier than 3 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokningar Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Not sure if this question fits here, but I will give it a try. Is it possible to pause tax and all that on a bike in Thailand? In Sweden for example, you can put it on hold and only pay a registration fee every year. Less than the equivalent to 200 THB. And in Thailand the same would be like 50 THB/year if it exist. Anything like that here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
