Sukhothai DLT- Difficult to deal with?

[Lancelot]

Need some advice. I'm buying a used CBR250 that is registered at Sukhothai and the current owner also lives there. I was hoping to change the green book into my name and keep the same number plate. The seller says they are a pain to deal with and I'd be better off to register the bike here in Pattaya where I live. He is however willing to go with me to the Sukhothai DLT.

Last year I bought a used CBR150 at Korat and we exchanged money/signed forms at the local DLT, However, I forgot my Immigration Residence letter and DLT would not transfer the Green Book in to my name with out it. I did register it here in Chonburi but it took three trips to DLT to complete the transfer; 1st trip to deregister the bike from Korat, 2nd trip to verify the serial numbers and transfer the bike to my name and 3rd trip to pick up the book and new number plate.

Any one have experiences -good or bad- with Sukhothai DLT?

Thanks!

Lance
