[crille30]

Moving from Phuket and need to change mt number plate on my bike if I understand correct from Phuket to Pattaya plates?

Were do I do this?

[timekeeper]

go to a Government agent in Pattaya

let them do it for you

its much easier and not much more expensive than doing it yourself

however you will save on your overall health & blood pressure....

Yes, that's the one i use, never had any problems, but any of the places with the yellow and blue sign with the gear cog can do it.

And for the OP it will be Chonburi plates - not Pattaya plates.

I'm in the process of changing plates on a bike I bought from a friend. The plates are Hua Hin. I'm after Chonburi plates. My motorcycle dealer is handling the process for me..

Change name in green book: 45 days

New number plates: changed name last week in May. New number plates will arrive mid-September.

Total price: 1900 baht.

Is it really useful to change the plate ?

Is it really useful to change the plate ?

Yes, when you want to sell it.

wow 1900 thats expensive.I have the greenbook in my name so I guess ther is no legal reason to change the plates I dont have to?

Well thanks any way guys,maybe better to change or else there is one more reason for BIB to stop me and mak up some fine.

wow 1900 thats expensive..

No, it's not a bargain, but ok. Most "agencies" will charge more.

You can't do it yourself for 1900 Bt.

Change name in green book: 45 days

The whole process can be done *normally* in 7-10 days. (Chonburi)

At the moment, there are no plates available, but the transfer of ownership/book to Chonburi plates, is no problem.

You just have to pick up your plates ~three months later .

As you say, there's not compelling reason to change the plates - except if you want to sell it.

I have been using a bike in my friends name with Hua Hin plates for 3 years - no problem. To have the bike transferred into my name I had to change the plates - that's why I'm doing it. You can add 200 baht because you'll need a residence certificate from Chonburi Immigration in Jomtien.
