Can a motosai be sold in Bangkok while on a tourist visa?

honestly the bigger headache might be the tax office side. if the green book is still in ur name from the non-o visa, the DLT transfer is fine like others said but you'll need to clear any annual tax first before they let you do the ownership change. i've seen people get stuck because they forgot to pay the yearly road tax (its like 200-300 baht) and the DLT wont process the transfer until its done. also some branches in bkk require a copy of ur lease agreement if ur registered address is different from the one on the green book, so bring that just in case. the tourist visa thing isnt an issue at all for the transfer itself

the other reply is right about the DLT not caring about visa type but the real issue might be the green book. if the book is still in ur name from when u had the non-o, the transfer is straightforward. just make sure u have the original purchase receipt too, some DLT branches ask for it even if ur not the first owner. also check if ur bike has any outstanding fines, they can delay the transfer and u dont want that headache when ur about to leave.

yeah you can sell it without the residence cert, just bring your passport and the green book to the DLT and do the transfer at the counter, they don't really check visa type for that

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
