About Taladrodban
Taladrodban (ตลาดรถบ้าน, "home car market") is a Thai classifieds site where car owners sell their own cars directly to buyers, with no middleman. The site is a listing platform only. It does not inspect cars, does not take payments or deposits, and has no bank account for you to transfer money to. Always see the car and the original registration book before you pay anyone.
Listings and the listing form are in Thai. Your browser's translate option works on them.
