Bazle Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Maybe this facility on the 5th floor of Central Festival could be useful: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tko Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 We just have our insurance agent do it for us when we renew our vehicle insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzalad Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 You can also try Big C on Pattaya Tai on Saturdays upstairs in front of the tills. We would use this lady here due to the convenience of getting the insurance and tax in one place.. 3rd road to the right of easy money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Fondles Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Dont forget if the vehicle is 7 years or older it will need a road worthy inspection, done at places displaying this sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpat Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I recall a video from vlogger Kev in Thailand where he went to have his newly purchased pre-owned bike inspected and it was rejected due to having blue lights. So I suppose these inspections will help reduce the number of illegal mods people put on their bikes (.. of course after the inspection you could put the mods back on ..)

You can also get your tax renewed there you leave your green book and collect it in a few days. You get a receipt that can be shown to the BIB that is acceptable to them.

They needed to do a pencil rubbing of the bike's VIN plate, but the VIN was in a hard to reach place on the frame. Watched as they spent a couple of minutes trying to get the paper taped over the VIN, then watched as the paper came off when they rubbed the pencil over the paper. Took them three tries before they got a good copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thats what they stuck on my test certificate, i wondered WTF it was lol, still only took 10 mins as they have a pit and its easily accessable from under the vehicle. I really can't see that this test can be very meaningful but hey i suppose its something, now all they gotta do is get everyone to comply lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpat Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 When I've gotten my road tax sticker at an inspection station I give them my green book and proof of government insurance (and 300 baht) and then come back in 3 or 4 days and get back my green book and road tax sticker. At these temporary shops in malls like Big C and Central do they print up the road tax sticker on the spot or do I have to come back in a week to pick up my sticker and green book?

They are part of the licensing department not agents and they do it all on the sport as far as I can recall. One time however the modem couldn't connect and they couldn't do it so just sat round twiddling their thumbs.
