This was done in Udon, I will say one thing that is a lot less then I paid for my book and plate. This is Thailand the end users experience may be different I don't know. But it is a chance to get a bike legal with less money.

Hi Ray,
As usual spent my afternoon banging my head against the wall asking the wrong people the right questions, but here goes…
I’ve just been down to both the tax & the plating/book places. Even after import tax they want their pound of flesh!! They couldn’t value the Desperado as didn’t have the number for it in their little book. They valued Morty’s bike at 429k, tax payable 14,087b. The Fazer was valued at 620,400b, tax payable 20,473.20b (.20?? belabouring the point a little??!!) This amnesty finishes on the 25th Sept.
We then went to the big testing/licensing centre in Non Soon as advised, they knew nothing about anything of course. They DID however pick up on the fact that wanker Jimmy from Udorn Lamtong had never even completed a receipt to say the bike was in my name, watch out lads! That needs to be sent off to Bkk for something, but won’t cost.
Came back to the vehicle testing centre in Udorn, knew nothing in the offices, sent me to a guy out in the bay said that we can ride with impunity anywhere on this deal; if the police catch you just show the paper and away scot free.
Both he and the tax people said to get a book & plate would be an extra 20-30k, dependant on year/make/model and also advised against it as a pull from the police will involve only a 4-500b fine for no plate rather than possible impounding. Not value for money, as it were.
We can’t then tax the bikes after or even insure them 1st/2nd class as this isn’t proper registration. You need book & plate for that.
They say after the closing date we’ll have to go to Bkk to do this, and will be far more expensive, don’t know how much though; surprise surprise!!
That’s as much info as I’ve been able to glean, clear as mud? Here too
We took all the bike papers, so they could see what was paid for them, duty already paid etc too. Dunno?
Bladdy good job I had nothing better to do with the day, LOL‼
Cheers,
Ray.
