Went to Pattaya DLT, next to Regents school yesterday for a vehicle passport for my pickup, one form to fill in and the blue book and a copy of the wife's id card, paid 280 baht and have to go back next Wednesday to collect. ,

THat's Pattaya for you...Chonburi 250 for a new one and one hour collect

Maybe has to go through Chonburi

Maybe has to go through Chonburi

...and the 30 baht is for the motorcycle taxi? (or the pigeon?)

Will someone tell me what a vehicle passport is?

Any sample picture?

its to enable easy driving across local land borders ( supposedly), will post a photo of mine when i get it.

Thanks, I already found an older thread about "car passport".

Officially "International Transport Permit", the "purple book".

Thats the keyword I know (and the "T sticker").

seems the only border interested in it is the Thai/Laos border...where it is a must

Mine was 50 baht. In Khon Kean. If I am not mistaken. One hour wait time.

Yeppers my experience also. When I got mine I thought it was necessary for all out of country travel. It is not!

I think that's the fee for renewal?

I think my 250 included a blue book translation into English for the Malaysian border......whatever, it's one of the last bits of Thai bureaucracy that is reasonably priced........I'm sure as more and more people start driving abroad, they.ll hoike the price up
