I own a sam lor, that's it in the pic.. bought it new off the factory floor, tad over 50,000baht.

Great for doing short runs to the local market, buy some beers, that kind of thing, I don't have a car in Thailand, but use the bil's whenever we want for distance trips.

It is a 250cc, 5 speed manual, sits on 60km quite easily but I have had it over 80, then I get a bit nervous!, no need for any real speed on it, not good to have an accident in Thailand right. Slowly does it!

The locals get a good laugh, the cops love it and always give me thumbs up when I have taken it into the Meuang, you don't need any license to ride it btw.

I don't know any one else who has one of these or a tuk tuk, but I would like to know if there is any one out there...

Classy looking machine KB

Do you consider this safer than a standard bike?

I'm surprised it was only 50,000 Baht. Seems quite the bargain

I REALLY want to see a farang hustling for fares at the mouth of Suk Soi 5

I joked once and pulled up at a Tesco where the sam lor taxi guys park. They all cracked up laughing.

Perhaps safer, you feel like you have a bit more around you but it's not smooth like the Hondas or decent bikes are. Doesn't take off like my Clik i does either. Not quality parts, mainly unknown Chinese parts but it's now got a few k's on it and no problems yet.

Cool

That's brilliant! Coincidentally, I was looking at an old thread about buying tuk-tuks just last week, and the prices on those seemed to run from 60,000 to 150,000, depending on specification. 50,000 seems like a bargain by comparison. Where did you buy it?

Got it in Chumphae, there's 2 dealers of them in the same street. By memory it was about 56,000baht about 3 years ago.

lol krisb, that's a classy ride you got there..

I wouldn't know where to begin to find one.

Why didn't you go for the other style, like they have in bangkok?

I often get the looks from foreigners with your point of you, when they are getting out of their 10 year old beat up cars.

Here is a flash news, my "truck" is the best for shopping, because i can stack it to the top, plenty of room, it is easy to wash, it is easy to park, easy to go between lanes and cars and hardly much gas.

While you sit in your pick up 1 hour in traffic, i have already done the shopping and returning home

Not to mention, i can take my dogs to the beach, they can get as dirty as they like, i hose them off and the "truck" and happy days

PS, I do have 2 cars, both new, hardly been driven since the purchase date(3 000 km on the clock, bought in December 2011), you welcome to buy 1 or both, i am selling both

Are they allowed in Bkk? It's just that I can't remember seeing one here.

BTW, I like it, seems a sweet deal for 50k. Will keep it in mind.

I am surprised that your wife isn't ashamed. I always thought they were kind of cool, but was quickly informed not over my dead body.

From what i know, it can not be registered and if cannot be registered, legally it is not suppose to be on the road.

But bikes with side car are also semi illegal.

As i mentioned, i am in Pattaya and get pulled over on regular basis, but only to find out where i got mine from.

Fingers crossed it will stay same way

I heard the same from my maid, who laughed when i bought it.

Now she fights with me who will drive to go shopping, and often also asks to borrow it to move her family things.

She loves it.

Even if she sits in the back on kids chair, she always strikes up a conversation with people in the cars and bikes and really loves it

Actually, in the news section there's an article about a beaten up red-shirt, who was just given something similar, a lot smaller though and without a cover, as a gift.

way to go man.........we got 2 cars and use both, happy with them as well, however no need for a illegal side car on bike. How is yours insured by the way, as motorbike ? as multi purpose vehicle ? Wonder what the insurance is there ? Or is it us car owners who have to put up with the cash when them little illegal vehicles crash into us ?

It is not insured because it can not not be insured , it can not be registered.

But it is not a super bike which flies at high speeds, so while accidents are possible, i doubt one would be through fault of my own.

If there was one and other party insurance refused to pay, i am sure i could find few thousand baht to put metal bars back together and paint it.

And if stopped by police, 500 or 1000 baht fine would fix the problem

And if my little illegal vehicle crashes into you, you are welcome to sue me

PS. Remind me what happens when little scooter driven by a Thai smashes into you?
