yes. no problem.

Biggest "hurdle": getting a proof of residence accepted by DLT.

And of course: cash payed.

I agree there might be hurdles but to answer the OP's question the answer is Yes.

Did not want to oppose that.

Of course yes for motorcycles and cars.

The car is my name:

In 2011 (just five months after arriving in Thailand) I went to the dealer with my wife to buy a car, cash on the desk.

The not so enlightened staff wanted to make me believe it is not possible, have to put in my wife's name.

Finally walked straight out of the shop.

But! before we were to drive off they ran after us.

"Talked to boss".

Still it was a plethora of photocopies up to marriage certificate (!! blink.png ) even though I had a certificate of residence from Khon Kaen immi for the specific purpose.

Silly,.

Of course this was in upcountry.

In Pattaya or Bangkok they are likely a bit more enlightened.
