mesquite Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Questions. Where is the best place to buy the basic motorbike liability insurance, the kind you need to have to get the bike tax sticker? Can I buy it at the DMV where I pay the tax and get the sticker? Or is there a better place? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I bought my 1st class insurance from my local vehicle test centre who did both, tax and insurance for me in one day. The insurance only cost 300 Baht, so IMo it seems hardly worth the bother of shopping around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakchaingmai Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 It's all the same companies and all the same prices for P.R.B the national insurance for the sticker on the bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard2010 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Just to clarify part of your statement motorbike liability insurance Before you do your Road Tax Or Registration You have to purchase the Road Insurance which is compulsory before you can pay for your Road Tax Or Registration Because this is different from most countries the way they do it This covers a basic Personal Accident Only Insurance not covered for your own bike repairs If you need a Compulsory Insurance this can bought at several Places You can incorporate your Road Insurance with your own accident Cover I found this out recently when i registered my bike after the 1 year from new I an still learning how the system works Edited July 17, 2017 by Lizard2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesquite Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Another question: Can I show up at that office near Holiday Inn with the green book and NOT the bike? I would rather drive the car over there. I am wondering if they want to look at the bike for some sort of ID number. I just can't remember what they did last year. Any input is appreciated.

If your bike is less than 5 years old you can pay the road tax without the green book. I had a photo copy, and then later with the receipt they will update your tax page of the book. If the bike is 5 years or more older you need it tested, so it must be present. Will they do it without a green book? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesquite Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 To follow up, I went down to the DMV by Holiday Inn with the green book and the place was so crowded I left. I then talked to a Thai friend who called someone else and he went there the next day with the green book only and obtained the sticker. I should have done that from the start :).
