Insurance — the honest note
พ.ร.บ. is compulsory and covers injury only, at low limits. Voluntary cover (ประกันภาคสมัครใจ) for the bike itself and third-party property costs roughly ฿1,800–฿3,500/year for most bikes here.
Most bike buyers skip voluntary cover. What that means: if you drop the bike, the repair is yours. If someone hits you and drives off, the repair is yours. If you hit a car, the car is yours too. We say this plainly rather than upselling a policy.
