Bike Insurance Information nn
Motorcycle insurance is available for registered and unregistered bikes: 3rd Party Compulsory, 3rd Party Voluntary, 3rd Party Fire & Theft and Comprehensive!
The 3rd party insurance (CTPL) is compulsory in Thailand, although many people in the rural areas still ride around uninsured. This is not a problem until you are involved in an accident with them & they have no money to pay, or you (foolishly) have no insurance / money to pay them.
Don’t get caught out, accidents do happen & they’re usually not your fault! They also always seem to happen when you least expect it & least need it.
So we recommend you ride safe & protect yourself with legal insurance (don’t stuff up your life or holidays for a few Baht).

If you live & ride long term in Thailand, we highly recommend this voluntary 3rd party insurance as being the minimum to hold. Being arrested & locked up by the police for an accident that is not your fault is a very unpleasant experience and not one we’d recommend you try. Locked up and trying to arrange a bail bond is a traumatic & difficult experience – one that you don’t need to worry about if you have the Voluntary 3rd Party Insurance with Bail Bond.

As above with the 3rd Class but also covers you for fire and theft.
