Fatbastard Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 In fact it isn't so rare, most BIG bikes owned / ridden by thai are not registered, because obtaining registration for grey imports costs upwards of 50,000 baht. They figure the occasional "fine" of 100 B rather than laying out 50K makes sense. Out in the country many small bikes are not registered for much the same reason. Even tho the cost of registering a small machine is only a few hundred baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregchambers Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Dakine, the bike will come with two circular stickers. One is the compulsory year's (third party) insurance for a couple of hundred baht and the other is the road tax for a hundred baht or so. The dealer will sort this out for you BUT you may have to wait for the number plate to be issued. In theory, should take a day in Bangkok with anything up to three months in the provinces -only a problem if buying new. You can ride without the numberplate but it is then down to the whim of the cops whether or not they extract money from you. BTW, the third party insurance is machine specific and will cover whoever rides the bike as long as they have a valid driving licence. The reason dealers can be tardy with the numberplate issue is that they don't hand the money over to the distributors until the bike is officially registered and the plate issued, so some arm twisting may be in order.

Guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 This thread is about Motor Bike's not Big Bikes and that termo is specific to LOS and this is a LOS board so.......more post buffering I do not know if you are also someone who changes logins on a fairly regular basis as well (I would get depressed looking at my total posts here ), but I will assume you are not.......... the thread STARTED off as you said, but they do have a tendency here to head off in a different direction to what the OP wanted.......... usually (but not always!) adding a bit of info along the way, which folk think may be useful to other folk. Sometimes it can take a bit of perserverence, but 99% of the time folk come up trumps........... given time BTW I would also have mentioned what part of the LOS you were talking about. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummigut Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Insulting people and asking for help. Or was it asking for help and insulting people. Either way, they usually don't go very well together. Can't we just all get along? <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 On the subject of Insureance. There are two types. The compulsory Government insureance which covers Thais for medical, not Frangs for anything apart from not being fined for not having the compulsory cover. The Proper Cover as obtained for Cars. It is extreamly hard/immpossible to obtain Proper Full cover. BMW do offer it with a new bike via a Thai company, who will not issue a policy for non BMW bikes. Some Life Assurance companies offer a form of cover mainly medical no damage cover for your bike. I tried to obtain a policy document for inspection by my Lawyer but the company would nor provied. My lawyer was incredulous at the thought of me wanting cover, No One has such. Then I mentioned third party liability and she entred think mode. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
