Recommended Posts

I am moving to Hua Hin next year and want to buy a motorbike there. I have no clue regarding rules and necessary documents / paper work.

I hold non immigrant O visa and have German and international drivers license.

- What is required to buy a bike and get it registered and insured?

- Can I use my German resp. International Drivers License?

- Do bike dealers assist to get everything done?

Who can give me reliable advice?

Thank you

Your home country DL can be used legally for max 90 days. Thai DL can be obtained without theroy or practical tests if your homecountry clearly tells in English which vehicles it covers, or is supported by and IDP

However Thai traffic law and culture is very different to German, so the sooner you learn it the safer you will be

To buy and have registered a vehicle/bike in your name, you need 2 documents

Passport with any valid permit to stay

Certificate of residence issued by local Immigration or your embassy in Thailand

Most bike dealers take care of registration/tax/insurance, if you provide above. They call it registration fee at approx 900-1900 baht.

If you go to DLT in Pranbury yourself it costs 845 baht for plate, book, tax, insurance for a small bike
