Car Prices in Thailand
Many People Think Cars are Cheap in Thailand. Wrong!

Car prices in Thailand are higher than in most western countries. If you are from the U.S you will be amazed how expensive used cars are in Thailand compared to the prices in the U.S.

The high car prices in Thailand makes people who want to live in Thailand wonder if it would be a good idea to ship your car to Thailand because of the expensive car prices in Thailand. Generally it is not a good idea since the luxury tax on imported cars can be between 200-300% plus the cost of shipping. Also don't forget that traffic drives on the left in Thailand which means the steering wheel would be on the opposite side.

If you are a non-resident foreigner in the Kingdom of Thailand you can not legally own a car. Some people are able to buy and register a vehicle in their name by simply taking a rental agreement or prove of residency and get it certified at the local immigration office. If you are a shareholder in a Thai/foreign company then the company will buy the car and get it registered.
