September 14, 20169 yr Hello out thereGood someone please recommend a good bike shop, and can they speak some English. My question is I need to transfer a Honda click. Now I'm wondering if I go to a bike shop could they go to the land office for me.It's Farang to a Thai name. I'm buying the bike off a mate and putting it in my wife's name. I'll have all the papers and the green book. Ok thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
September 15, 20169 yr It would help a lot if you say where you're located, Thailand is a huge country.
September 15, 20169 yr Take Sukhumvit Rd direction Chonburi, about 100 meters after the entrance bridge to Rd 7, on the left hand side is a inspection shop they will help you.
September 15, 20169 yr Author Sorry I've no idea really I need Some landmarks Directions from Tempiset Rd would be helpful. Or Pratumnak Hill. ThanksSent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
September 15, 20169 yr If you want a shop to do it for you then look for a place displaying this logo There is one on South Pattaya road at the Sukumvit end and another one on Sukumvit between South and Center road. Cost probably a couple of thousand baht if all back tax has been paid and no other complications. ( like if the bike is currently registered in another province ) If your mate lives in Pattaya he/she will have to get a certificate of residence from immigration in Jomtien 300 + baht and to be pedantic you don't transfer vehicles at the "land office" that's for land and property you transfer vehicles at the DLT .....Department of Land Transportation http://maps.google.com/?cid=12582398290207580349 or the main one if you need to change provinces http://maps.google.com/?cid=13676406131048055703
September 15, 20169 yr Author Ok I think we're on the right track But my friend is a tourist, no permanent residency. In and out of the country. But will be here next month in Pattaya to help me. 2. The bikes currently in Bkk after recently transport it. Regarding the taxes as I said, will be about 3 weeks overdue. Solutions ?Thanks againSent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
September 16, 20169 yr Your friend just needs to goto Jomtien immigration and ask for a "certificate of residence" for the purpose of selling a motorbike they will except a receipt showing he/she is staying in a condo or hotel no need to actually be on permanent residency. If the bike has Bangkok plates it will make it a bit more complicated and take longer but the shop will be able to do it for you Tax 3 weeks overdue no problem about a 2 baht fine shop on South Pattaya road is new... somewhere around the area ( from memory ) shown on this google streetview https://www.google.com/maps/@12.9195614,100.8910955,3a,75y,56.42h,73.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s7cZISD_00V8t1XlJiAZd0A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 shop on Sukumvit https://www.google.com/maps/@12.9242953,100.8981994,3a,75y,259.97h,75.98t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scpHC32CO46fmiO42yhWHIw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
September 16, 20169 yr Author Ok it has Pattaya platesThat's better right!Also is the place at South Pattaya is that Thepesit Road? Can you let me know And thanks a ton for the info, much appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
September 16, 20169 yr Author Sorry I got the mapBut if I come from Thepesit Road I turn Left to Big C or right to MackroSent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
September 16, 20169 yr Left towards Big C for both places Pattaya plates already will make it easier and faster sometimes the shop will wait until they get a few to do before going to the DLT they may also have to take the bike to DLT to check engine and chassis numbers... but they may have "special contacts" that mean they can bypass certain things I'm sure they'll let you know what's necessary.
September 16, 20169 yr Why don't you take your friend, your wife and the bike to the DLT and do the transfer there? Like mentioned, a certificate of residence for your friend will be needed and can be obtained at immigration.
September 16, 20169 yr Author Thanks mate bypass would be good only because the bikes in BKK as per my original post. It started off in Pattaya Then transported to Bkk Hope it's not a problem!Just 1 more question the bike will transferred from the seller to my wife's name She's Thai of course. So her ID copy and Blue book copy that's about it right?You been a big help so thanks for your time in advance Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
September 16, 20169 yr 19 minutes ago, Bob58 said: So her ID copy and Blue book copy that's about it right? ( blue book might not be necessary but take copy anyway ) yes get her to sign them and state in Thai of course "only for purpose of registering honda click reg number xxxxxxx" over a conspicuous part of the copy being careful not to actually obscure anything..this is to try and prevent fraudsters stealing identity, "purpose of" can be omitted if not worried but copies need her signature. The shop will let you know if they need to see the bike or not but I suspect they will need to see it because they normally take "rubbing's" of the chassis and engine number and need to confirm these agree with the green book.
September 16, 20169 yr His wife's blue book ( or Tabien bahn ) not to be confused with the blue book used for car registration.
December 23, 20169 yr Quote Thank to all you guys for your helpful comments which will help me register a bike into my name shortly, when I get to Thailand. I just have one question; do I need a certificate of residency?
December 25, 20169 yr Yes or a yellow house book, usually from immigration. But here in Kanchanaburi, from the local Amphur office, just depends.
