Lost gold Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) I've a Honda Wave 125, which is just a little over two-and-a-half-years old. When I bought the bike I also bought it with fire and theft insurance, but have since let this policy lapse. Recently there has been a spate of thefts in our area, so I took my bike back to the Honda dealership and asked for it to be reinsured against fire and theft. The dealership say that no Thai insurance company will insure a bike which is over three-years-old against fire and theft. Can anybody confirm that this is this case with all Thai insurance companies, please? It seems a little odd, compared to what I’m used to back home.

Is it laid up whilst you are out of the country? If you are using it in LOS what happens when you run over Somchai or run into a new hiso Merc ? Will you be able to sort your way through the Thai legal system and pay any awards and legal costs. It really is folly not to have a good policy in force and I see no reason why a Thai insurance company will not issue a more comprehensive policy for a bike over 3 yoa. Pay the modest amount of Baht this costs and sleep easy. TBWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
