Selling second hand bike in different province.

[mrjohn]

I have just sold an old motorbike. However it was registered in Songkhla and the guy I sold it to lives in Korat. 
He said all he needed was my signature and copy of passport to transfer the ownership. 
Yesterday, he called to say that I will need to go with him in person to the provincial head office (200km) round trip. 
An incredible waste of time for a second hand bike.
Has anybody encountered this and is there any way round it?

There is absolutely no reason  for you to go in person..however he will likely need a "power of attorney" form  "transfer form" and possibly

(some provinces require it) a  certificate of residence  from you.

Wow. Thank you very much. I'll pass this on to my wife. I speak Thai fairly well but can't read it. The English translation is a bit too small.

And I've just found out that Google can translate text in an image. You learn something everyday. Thank you.

 

Unfortunately, I suspect I will be forced to go if the provincial registration office insists on it. As you know, government offices here are a law unto themselves.

Ahh it seems the forum  software has done something to the image resolution

making it almost unreadable  sorry about that try the images inside this zip file instead.
