jkzero Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 hi, i am in phuket for 3 months and we need a bike (my partner and i), however we not sure if we should buy a bike (second hand) and risk not being able to sell it / losing money or whether just to rent a bike (best deal we can find so far, 2,500/month). does anyone have advice? also, i need a bicycle for fitness as i have a back injury and cant do any excercis involving impact or twisting, does anyone have suggestions on best place to buy one? thanks!

goldfinger Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 at 2500 per month-no question, rent it. when you buy 2 hand, are you sure its not stolen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 better to rent unless you can find someone desperate to sell, see thaivisa classifieds, theres a few. Place in rawai has newer automatics for 2000B a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkzero Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 thanks everyone.. i was leaning towards renting but it is hard to throw the money away.. can you tell me where in rawai i can rent for 2000/month? best we have found is 2,500, auto or manual, no problems as we can both ride (my partner sometimes rides like a local - scary!)

lovelomsak Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Rent for sure. You might be able to buy and wholesale back to the shop you bought it from but hassles so rent. I would also check at dealers such as the honda to see what used bikes they have for sale, sometimes they will rent you one and great selection. Where I am the honda dealer was having a hard time selling a honda steed so he just rented it out to foreigners whenever they wanted.He eventually sold it.

falkan Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Should you be on holiday in Phuket three months and is already beginning to worry you for charges imposed on a motorcycle, maybe would work an extra month and enjoy the holiday instead of twisting and turning in the coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkzero Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) maybe i have a back injury and cant work at present, which could also be why i'm on holiday =) thanks for your constructive input. Edited July 10, 2010 by jkzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
