Popular Post Can samui Posted August 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just returned from getting the green book on my Versys changed from Chiangmai to Suratthani and in my name. Nothing but good things to say about the folks at the license office in Surat. Polite, helpful,( to the dumb foreigner) and pleasant. Every person I asked for help responded with a smile and a gentle shove in the right direction. Nothing but praise for them.

PoorSucker Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Any reason to why you didn't use the DLT office in Lipa Noi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can samui Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah, was told at Lipanoi office that because of the size of the bike had to go to Surat. I think it has always been the law but in the "fast and loose" days easy to get around. With the army running the show I think the letter of the law is being enforced for a change.

steelerian Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Are there any definite rules as to what can and cannot be done at the Lipa Noi transport office? e.g. I went there this morning with a Honda Click to change the name on the green book to my name. Even though the plate on the bike is a Surat plate, I was told that they cannot do this for me in Samui, because the bike was registered in Surat Thani, and not Samui. They also mentioned that because the address of the previous owner was in Nakhon Si Thammarat that this was a problem also. I was always under the impression that any Surat platae can be changed in Samui, but for any non-Surat plate I had to travel to Surat Thani town to change. Can anyone offer anything more definite?
