Car tax

[MissIndy]

Do I have to go to the Land Transportation Office to tax my car or is there somewhere else it can be done?

Reading through historical posts, it looks like there's a place in Soi 15 on Nimman where it can be done. Anyone know of it?

All info appreciated.

Thanks,

Trisha

Motor Vehicle Office at Nong Hoi - at traffic lights, almost opposite Holdiay Inn.

The place in Nong Hoi has the advantage of being a drive through. No need to park and very fast.

Thanks both.

I have to almost pass the Land Transportation Office to get to Nong Hoi, but it sounds like it's worth it. I can't get there till after lunch tomorrow. Is it worth going then, or waiting till Friday morning?

The Nong Hoi one is very quick and rarely any queues.... just go whenever convenient to you.

 

Further along from there is a testing station at the back of a petrol/service station. Not sure if you have to go there first. My better half had to take her car there first...just a brake test on a spinning roller machine.  Very simple and quick.

 

Then it was back to the place and pay the road tax. So simple.

how old is the car, does it require a test before taxing

And you need to take the compulsory insurance certificate (por ro bor) with you if you want it to be drive through..

 

Always quicker to get it from an agency before going, the agency inside the Nong Hoi office can be a 30 minute wait. I got my last from Bangkok Bank.

The car doesn't need testing first, but I do need to get the compulsory insurance. I'll go to Bangkok Bank for it.

Thanks again.

 

edit - At what age does a car need testing?

Old cars must be tested first. Same place sells the compulsory insurance
