thrilled Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Supposedly if you have some kind of Thailand Tags in Thailand you can ride it anywhere in the country.The police might stop you for something.He don't really care about you or the motorcycle he just wants 100-300 baht.

gerhardveer Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 NO PROBLEMS, if you have the green book - it's the same than with a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailbad the sinner Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 NO PROBLEMS, if you have the green book - it's the same than with a car. That is the case for exiting Thailand, but are you sure you are required to carry the green book with you all the time just travelling within Thailand?

BobS Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 In country, you are required to carry a copy of the green book - just the page with your name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwebb8825 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I bought my bike in Krabi and rode it home to Nakhon Nayok with nary an issue. (save a sore butt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 When you have a copy green book with you, you can go anywhere in Thailand. If you have red plate (new bike), go to you dealer and ask for a permit (letter) to go to other provinces. Keep this letter/permit in the motorbike, and make 1 copy for yourself at home. No problems at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkt83100 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) A few month ago I did Phuket-Surat Thani-Bangkok-Pattaya-Chantaburi-Buriram-Mahasarakam-Sakon Nakhon-Nakhon Phanom-Nong Khai-Korat-Bangkok-Chumphon-Ranong-Phuket, about 4000 km in 16 days. Been stopped at checkpoints 4 times, never had to pay any money. Best is to avoid highways and you will be happy. You may read about the trip and see pictures at http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4103, the PCX150 liked the trip as well as I did.

Never carry the green book with you, keep a copy. If the bike is stolen, the thief will also have the green book. Sorry for a bit of hi jacking, but anyone know if a copy of the green book is OK to exit the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To exit ( in my case it was to Laos) you will need the ORGINAL green book, In the riders name. If that's not the case a declaration of the owner of the bike permitting the rider to exit the country.

papa al Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 To exit ( in my case it was to Laos) you will need the ORGINAL green book, In the riders name. If that's not the case a declaration of the owner of the bike permitting the rider to exit the country. GB need not be in rider's name if the named owner is present. [e.g, papa & a buddy on two of my bikes could cross together. Bought new bike a few months ago in Patts...red plate. When regular plate and book came in, dealer allowed me to keep the red plate too. Will sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh really, what plate do they put on a new bike in Bangkok these days? No plate at all. You just ride around plateless until the white plate comes in. Not sure why they stopped doing red plates, but it's been like this for at least a couple years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
