BaldPlumber Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hi I am investigating the possibility of buying a bike registered in Phuket and transferring the ownership to Chonburi. Due to the distances involved, it is important that I know and follow the right procedures and have the correct documents to ensure a smooth transition. Could someone please advise me of the procedure and documents needed at both the locations? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I bought my Suzuki from an aussie in chiang mai. Transferred it into my name in chiang mai on the day of purchase, then rode back to bangkok and transferred it onto bangkok plates a few weeks later. I took passport work permit and driving licence. Think its different docs if no work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Why do you want to change the province on the licence plate? There is no need. Simply take passport (+ copies) and residence letter. If you want you can download change of ownership forms. Go with the present owner to the Land Transport Dept. in Phuket and get ownership transferred. Keep the Phuket plate. It doesn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did, still riding with Phuket license place, no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macknife Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Did this twice fairly recently. From the seller you need the power of attorney form, signed of course. If Thai: 2 copies of ID card and house book, all signed. If foreigner: 2 copies of every used page of their passport and 2 copies of their work permit or proof of residence, everything signed. Normally you don't need their proof of residence if registering in the same province but you do if changing province. As some have said here, assuming you have all the right documents you need, then do it in Phuket first while the owner is with you. You can always change it to Chonburi later on if you want to.
