Popular Post krisb Posted February 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2014 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... 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BookMan Posted February 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2014 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 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems quite the bargain 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisakiman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Go ahead, blast away....... just arrived here...dont know ziltch 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 Edited February 16, 2014 by whoisyourdaddy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep it in mind. 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought they were kind of cool, but was quickly informed not over my dead body. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Edited February 16, 2014 by whoisyourdaddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
