Trike Motorbikes.

[undercover]

Does anybody know the reason why we never see these trike bikes in Chonburi \ Rayong ? is it that you cannot register them in those provinces ?

Does anybody know if it would be possible to register one for private use.

There is no way you can register a skylab (that is how they are called) anywhere in Thailand.

Just like Charly's (small motorbikes) and quads (I think).

Skylabs are viewed upon as a kind of tuktuks.

The government wants to control the number of tuktuks.

So no registering.

But, they can be used, actually there are two driving around near you in Pattaya, privately owned!

And, they can be insured too!

Look in the website of Atipong Motors in Udon Thani.

There is in that website an article why the Skylabs cannot be registered.

And why they can be used notwithstanding.

I seem to remember that in towns with tuktuks there might be restriction for driving the things as taxi's.

If that also applies to using a skylab privately, have no idea.

Pattaya has meter taxis, so I gues there is no problem.

We drove two skylabs from Udon Thani to Pattaya in 2 days, were stopped by the police several times at checkpoints.

Had all the paperwork and were waved through.

Paperwork being the insurance, the bill, technical description and so on.

Thank's hansnl for that info, I will look at the site you gave, The thing Im not sure on now is .... if you cannot register one how can you insure it without a number plate ?

Ive seen these SkyLabs too but not in Pattaya, it would be great if could register one just for private use, ( not Taxi ) so it would not compete with the Baht buses , it would be nice to run around on one , may be bit more safe that a motorbike

Are these tuk tuks that you see riding around Si Racha registerd ? I have seen farang in Pattaya riding round on tuk tuks, some business have them as complimentry transport, Carrefour has two, I take it they are registerd and insured ? if they are why can't you register a skylab ?
