coobah666 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have three bikes now and all the tax stickers are out of date,nothing has been sent out for the renewal,or is it the case that I have to chase it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) It is up to you. take the green book and bike to a dealer..that handles inspections...do not worry too much about the inpection...if someone can sit on it it passes. Pay about 300 baht or so for compulsory insurance and tax about 50 to 100 to have them handle it for you. If the tax has to be paid for a few years you pay the tax only for those years and not the insurance...you will get fined about 10 baht a year. If you want to do it yourself get the bike inspected, buy insurance and go to the transport department. Edited July 10, 2013 by harrry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It is up to you. take the blue book and bike to a dealer..that handles inspections...do not worry too much about the inpection...if someone can sit on it it passes. Pay about 300 baht or so for compulsory insurance and tax about 50 to 100 to have them handle it for you.

If you want to do it yourself get the bike inspected, buy insurance and go to the transport department. Any of the bikes that the OP has that is 5 years old is only required to be tested. At his local DLT office he can get insurance and road taxed at the same time. As you say small fines for late up to date payments, no worries.

coobah666 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 The three bikes are all only 14 months old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) The three bikes are all only 14 months old Ok no test...just the book and the insurance which you can buy at the DLT you do not need to take the bike. Personally I would just as soon pay the dealer or someone to do it rather than spend half a day chasing round.

mania Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Dont know where you are but in Chiangmai the Bike renewal place is not the same as the DMV for cars. Also it is super fast & efficient. Out front on the street are about 4-5 insurance stalls from the main guys. Buy your min. gov insurance if that is what you want. Then take inside the main building with your green book or even use the drive up for scooters window & get it. 5 min to get insure & probably 2-3min to get tax paper 431 baht total spent for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah, that was easy, shoulda asked her first to begin with. As harry (potter??? lol) said, it's up to you to keep track of tax stickers expiry, it's not like on the west when they send you the renewal papers a few months in advance.
