paulbrun Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I am looking to buy a VW Beetle, if anyone sees one for sale. Condition not important, as long as running, and mostly original. I have searched most of the local ads, without success. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangmai Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 They're out there.....a pretty decent one is about 100K.....There is a repair shop next to the 7days hotel, near Arcade that specializes in them. Might be a good place to ask. Saw this one on Nimman....a true beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBrad Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 As an interesting side note, Thai generally refer to VW Beetles not as bugs, but as "turtle cars." When talking about this car, one might keep this in mind for clearer understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Rot Dtao.. Many around CNX... I know of a guy with a yard full of them in various states.. Everything is always for sale there at the right price but he pitched high to me.. Lots of fun things can be built off the VW platform.. Baja bugs.. Framed sandrail style buggys.. SWB hot rod beach buggy.. Etc.. I had a beach buggy when late teens and always have a soft spot for hot rod bugs. Also very possible to put a copy porsche 356 body shell on for not much money.. Given the total lack of cheap rear wheel drive fun cars its one I have been mulling.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbanda Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Send me a message with your phone number and I will pass to Thai friend in Chiang Mai. He have one, and I believe it is not in use, but in good original condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousehound Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 There are usually two or three really nice ones parked just south of the NE corner -(inner) moat. Could ask there as someone is obviously an enthusiast. I had a black 1951n model in good condition. Sold it for $25. Please don't tell me what it would be worth now - I feel tired of living as it is.

Boksida Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I am looking for a Beetle gearbox/diff assembly if anybody sees one while they are looking for a complete car. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrad Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Today I was out and about in the area just south of the Arcade Bus Station, and I saw a repair shop that had nothing but VWs...5, 6, 7, 8 of them, maybe more. Obviously this shop specializes in Volkswagens. I'm attaching a dated Google streetview shot of the corner where the shop is located. If you look close through the picket fence in the streetview you can glimpse a car somewhere in there. Today, however, the garage was much busier with quite a few VWs of varying ages and conditions. It's one block off the Superhighway frontage road on Tung Hotel Road, Soi 4. http://goo.gl/maps/opNgN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrun Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks all. Sorry, I have not been checking TV, because I am away until next week. I will continue the search for a good 'Bug' when I get back. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Another garage with VW Beetles is near the Phu Fah estate San Pak Wan/ MaiHia area. Head out of the city south on the Hangdong road past airport plaza until you reach the junction at Big C Homepro. Turn left here and after 500m or so you will come to a U-turn adjacent a football pitch. Turn right at the u-turn and head back in the direction of hangdong road. About 150m from this u-turn is a small soi on your left hand side which will take you to the Phu Fah housing estate. Beetles across from the Phu Fah entrance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
