7robbie7 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 im looking to buy a second hand tuk tuk in pattaya any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Bear Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Many more in Chonburi than Patters - but a second-hand one would probably have been driven to beyond it's life expetancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtCol Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Went into an idea once of buying up 2nd hand Tuk Tuks to export to Oz for tourism idea. Never found one that didn't need MASJOR mechanical work apart from the worn asthetics. If you want to tinker as a hobby it would be OK! By the way ,never went ahead.

ignis Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yes there silly prices both new and second hand.... If you want small what about a DIHATSU HIJET the 2008 5 door mini bus appear to be 230,000 for a 5 speed manual or 240,000 for a auto... the Van model was 185,000.. that was 2 weeks ago at the Dihatsu south end of Bang Yai Rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Or Suzuki Carry 329,000 with the bulletproof 1.6 Vitara engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamanoodle Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have spotted one for sale...no idea of condition or cost. Drive up Soi Siam Country club. As soon as you spot the Big Armchaair on the left take the next immediate right turn pull over stop car. Cross road and you should be looking at it.

phaethon Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 How many seats..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 There's one that's been parked across the road from Daos Bar (between Nern Plub Wan and Kao Noi)for months. It looks a bit dilapidated and the licence is two years out of date, so I'm sure it could be bought cheap. If you are a handy person I dare say it could be fixed up with miniumal cost.

Nongwahyay Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 The wife and I bought a similar thing for a brother-in- law 3 years ago in Nongbualamphu. Cost 53.000 Baht. Can´t remember what it´s called .... I think saamlor kreung..... Not a tuk tuk...... but it has a 125cc motor and at the rear there is a wooden bench on each side. Can carry about 4-5 people on each side. Great for the countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
