Hi Freddy. I agree 100% with Nookies #3 reply post. NEVER put your vehicle in your wife's name. No exceptions !!

You are leaving yourself wide open to potentially completely lose a huge investment ... 1 million baht (or thereabouts)

I highly recommend that you rent a vehicle for a couple of months until you get organised. DO NOT be hurried or pressured into making a quick vehicle purchase registered in someone elses name.

I know this is a very negative post, but the harsh reality is ... if things go wrong down the track ... she WILL drive away with your truck if it's in her name.

Wise words and I'd just like to add..

If you get the truck in your name, then keep the log-book away from prying eyes/hands. I did all the above and still NEARLY lost a Million Baht truck when the book was stolen and name changed to a finance company. It took me around 2 years and 200k to get the bloody thing back!!!!!!

LOCK THAT BOOK AWAY!
