MatteoBassini Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I purchased my bike in early December and the dealer has told me back then that the green book would arrive in 2 months. However, it has been more than 2 months now and my green book hasn't arrived. The road tax sticker also has not arrived. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuiop Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 no, but it is possible, it happened to me. I wouldn't worry that much. Anyway, your title is misleading, why are you saying 4 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello55060 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I've bought 2 bikes, both got plates in 2-3 weeks. And green book after 1 month. Just carry the purchase documents for the bike, in case you get stopped by the cops and they will be fine about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The delay is most likely because the dealer is sitting in the paper work waiting for a convenient time for them to goto the DLT with a big batch + I hear that there is some Tax shenaniganswhich can encourage slow registration.....it should/is possible to go directly to your local DLT and get it done in 1 day.

kannot Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 purchased my car November , just got the white number plate but then the dealer did say he would register it for me in 2019 to get more money on re sale. Drove round with no tax until now............I observed the couldnt give a flying fart mentality when out. Threw the red bookforwriting where im going in the back as well, never once filled it in, load of old tripe....seriously what a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanoshi Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 As already stated it should only take 2-3 weeks. The dealer is sitting on your cash in his bank account to gain monthly interest. Chase him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Actually it can be done within a day, every delay is caused by the dealer and / or the manufacturer, depending on who holds the papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Obviously this was just the usual hot air again............. Newly-bought vehicles that carry temporary red license plates will be banned from streets starting in June if a draft law is enacted, the Land Transport Department chief said on Monday. Sanit Promwong, director general of the Land Transport Department, said a draft law to implement the ban was being reviewed by the Office of the Council of State and would be debated at public hearings as required by Article 77 of the new Constitution. He said the law was expected to be enacted in June, after which all new vehicles must have been registered to have license plates before they can be driven. Currently, new vehicles can be driven for up to 30 days with temporary plates, while the permanent ones are being registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, your title is misleading, why are you saying 4 months? Got the numbers mixed up, I was thinking of something else at the time of writing - I sent my bike to the dealer to have it fixed and they told me it will take 4 months because of the "long queue", lol. Sent my bike to Rayong instead where they told me 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatteoBassini Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm guessing they're just waiting to do it all at once with a big batch, I've never been stopped by the police yet so still not an issue. Though it is weird riding around an old model bike still with red plate on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
