Car tax sticker

All cars must display a tax sticker on the windscreen as proof that car tax has been paid. When a car is bought or sold the tax sticker remains on the window and is valid until it expires regardless of who owns the car. Tax is paid annually at the local DLT office. To make the car tax payment take the Blue Book and proof of Compulsory Motor Insurance (also known as CMI or Por Ror Bor).
Tax rates are calculated depending on type and age of car as well as its engine size: for vehicles up to five years old the price is fixed depending on the engine size and type of car. After five years the tax is reduced by 10 percent every year up to a maximum of 50 percent.
Approximate costs are listed below but it is necessary to check with the DLT to get an exact price as there are many variables in how it is calculated. It will also be written in Thai in the back of the registration document (Blue Book).

I bought at Global yesterday around 14h00 and pay with my foreign Mastercard.  I just checked the bill and no surcharge.  My purchase under 1000 bahts....small bill for Global.   Will check again next time.

Never been at this shop  but if you try them let  us know.  I have an older car too and finding a shop that you trust tyo do a good job is hard.

Same problems for me in Hang Dong area.  Can not access web page outside Thailand since yesterday.
