Thailand Cost of Living - One Year Scooter Cost 

Very interesting. I like how you breakdown all the numbers regarding the cost of ownership and the sale process. I look forward to seeing what you decide to go with next. Thanks for the vid!

I don’t live in Thailand, nor do I ride bikes. Why the hell am I enjoying these videos so much?

Really Lucous whenever you do calculation in your vlogs they are so descriptive and nicely explained. Fan of your vlogs. Keep up the good work. Love from ❤️India

Thanks for the Great information can't wait to see what you going to get.👍

Another great video, thanks for the heads up.

Very informative and great narration!

Great video Lucas Today 👏 🙏🙏

Im A NEW SUB IMPRESSED BY YOUR ACCENT AND CLEAR SPOKEN VOICE. gd vlogs

Good info, thank you for the time you put into sharing with us.

Great video. Love that you do The videos so often. Always some thing to look forward to 😀😀

Motorbikes are a passion of mine so I really enjoyed this vlog, Thanks mate. 👍

I was worried it was going to be called "Walks 4 Kickz" when i read the title of the video haha

Only recently subscribed..really enjoying it. You have a great relaxed voice for voiceovers . greeting from the uk .

Another great video, I just recently found your channel and I have no intention of living in Thailand but your videos are very relaxing.

I 'm like your clip. Thank you.

Makes me miss Thailand.

Nice vid thanks

your vlogs are very good. One suggestion and I'm not sure if it's possible would be to ad Thai Subtitles. That would be a gamechanger. well done.

Hi, l really enjoyed this video, it was nice to meet you 🙏 now back in Australia and have to self isolate for 2 Weeks ☹️ Keep up the great work 🏆🇹🇭🙏

Excellent content cheers

Thanks mate great video ,something different ,very informative.

this was a great breakdown . good luck on the hunt . `JDS/CT

Love your narration voice

Love your videos dude, i could watch them all day long. It would be cool if you could do one on the bike you ride all the time.

Hi Lucas...hope you are well. You are a wealth of good information ....I've owned a aerox for about year brilliant scooter ( does what it says on tin ) English saying 😁...we got to meet up talk bikes....all the best ...👍👍👍

What did you do for work back in the states? You sound like a professional when you talk were you a newscaster? Anchorman? 😄 I really like your channel. Just discovered it. Keep up the good work. I have less than two years to go before I can retire. Hope to meet you someday 👍

Thanks for the great informative video. Can you do a video on selection of a motorbike ie features, and size?

Great vid. Been doing a 'how much to live in Thailand series myself'. Liking your content.👍

Still have my PCX150 since about 2012-2013. About 10-11000 km on it. Use it about 3-4 months a year when in Thailand and my lady uses it a bit. Still runs like new. Not much for maintenance.

With all these meals you are having. How much do you tip your server ? Some ideas on the tipping for meals, taxi's, porter in hotels etc. wherever you might feel compelled to tip.

I used buy and sell and rent bikes in Chiang mai .Mostly i used Facebook Market place but also Auctions .Union Auctions have sales once a week in Chiang Mai ,Bangkok and a few more places around Thailand .The bikes are almost all one and two years old which have been taken back by finance Company's after the buyers failed to keep up with purchase repayments . All turned out good for me .I only purchased low mileage ones .The prices with all costs involved are not much different from buying privately .Its mainly of use when you need to buy 2 or 3 bikes or more .They do not have bikes over 300 cc or very seldom do .

Nice economic breakdown. What about Security costs and parking costs (over the ownership period)? Walk as much as you can, save money and get in shape. Use an umbrella to avoid the Sun.

great video.

Yea I love the 150 sports bikes like you said a lot of bike for the money best thing about them is they are not restricted...😎

Thank you

What about leasing options, are they worth looking into? Especially if you don't think you'll be staying more than a year and don't want to worry about trying to find a buyer... but rental isn't worth it.

A couple of questions. Can you tell us how much did you sell your scooter for? Just want to know the depreciation. Which is the best scooter for Thailand? I never driven a bike and a scooter looks easy and are they automatic? Also do you need to get a Thai drivers license?

Nice video again, very informative, thank you. Maybe you can do a video about the Corona situation in pattaya. My holiday is cancelled unfortunately...

Question....In the Philippines most of the bikes are 125cc. I noticed in this video there are much larger bikes there. Can a larger bike be used there in Thailand and have a purpose?

I'd love seeing some 2 stroke bikes!!!

That 78,000 baht Suzuki looked really good.

I think the Van Van is a Japanese market bike, similar to the Yamahappy TW 200/225.

Can you get a hyosung gt 125 r big bike feel but small engine,

Maybe I missed it but I didn't hear you mention you getting immigration residency cert for the buyer. Both buyer and seller needed one when I sold my bike in December.

What was the warranty issue, please. I am going to buy one of these. Was that just the basic insurance you had? The basic insurance is pretty useless if you need it.

Top of the morning to you, squire. I also live in Bangsaen - have done for the last 12 years. If you ever fancy hooking up for a bite and a few sherberts, let me know.

Hi Rick, did you sell to a farang or Thai? What about your certificate of residency and the trip with the new owner to Land Transport to finalise the sale? I had to do that when I bought my motorbike, as did the Aussie who sold it to me.

Great video! How did you advertise your scooter for sale? I have a Honda CB300F that I want to sell but don't really know where to list it.

The fellow who bought your bike got a good/fair deal. I really like the AeroX and if purchasing a scooter would probably my top choice. I also like the Honda Forza which is a step up in price and performance, but you seem to be interested in going a different direction which is of course your prerogative. I look forward to your future videos with much anticipation. chok dee

You forgot about the shoe leather you saved for having a scooter. Enjoy your videos

What did you buy in the end?

So what kind of bike you gone buy this time

How willing are new bike dealers willing to negotiate, percentage wise, would you say?

Thais and I here in CM ALLWAYS go directly to the department of motor vehicles and transfer it over there because there may be issues...

Do you want to buy my 2018 CB150R? Happy to deliver it to bang saen...

Nice math and good savings compared to renting a scooter.

Geart​ vdo🙏👍

Why did you sell the old one? Depreciation?

Nice scoop on the Olde retro. At 11:00 That's great

have you considered honda 150 pcx compared to yamaha

Thank you for the video, Thumbs up.

Lucas you are really enjoying the process of buying a new bike .

Scooter is your friend. It takes care of you. But you gave it a good new owner . That's why this guy got a little sentimental over his motorbike.

keep up the great videos

Great information, Cheers

Why does it take so long to register a vehicle in Thailand?

you should have a hundred times more subscribers clear sensible videos and analysis of commonly required information and issues discussed. keep it up please.

EXCELLENT! thank you

What are the insurance cost or you do not have any ??????

Great video again. How dangerous is it to drive a scooter there, in your personal experience?

Keep up the good work!

Good luck in your search, I guess a Denali is out of the question,,,haaaaaaaa. I look forward to watching new videos on your new ride.

I'm a numbers guy and the cost breakdown was very enjoyable for me 😂

Excellent video & information (as always). Keep them up as time permits (?). I'm in "self lock down" here in Pattaya. Covid-19 is starting to show it's effects here. I usually go out every night and purchase fresh food but, WHO (world health organization) dictates that I should purchase what I can consume while being self isolated. I've sent messages to BM's around the city. Think you might consider "stocking up & self isolating" until the $hit storm passes ??? / hopefully see all of you on the other side !!!

Thanks for the info

benelli evo 200 is a good choice, its not that expensive.. it cost like a honda pcx 150 in my country

I don't like to appear negative but... I have often heard that one should go to the Land Transport Office when selling, to ensure the new owner does actually re-register the vehicle, otherwise, if there is an accident the previous owner can still be held liable... E.G. You sell to a tourist, who doesn't re-register, he has a major accident, and does a runner, and flees the country - You will have the police after you...! If a Thai person is hurt, and sues you, the probability is you will lose...

Loving your videos! What do you use to record the narration? Do you just plug a normal mic into your laptop or what? Thanks! I want to start making videos like this where I live in China :)

I went to a scooter auction and ended up bidding on a PCX 150 and was bidding against a dealer so I didn't get it as I thought he was scamming me

Wow i guess it was ready to go at a food price. Good breakdown. Most guys have no clue.

Just subs, like your content. Have you consider the Hanway Scrambler 250? You can get new at around 70 000 baht and used at 38 000, one year old. The seat doesn't look comfy tho.

Pardon the ignorance but I've been wondering, what's the difference between riding a scooter VS. a motorcycle? What's safer and/or easier to ride? I may try one while overseas too

Purchased for almost $2,000 sold for $1,500

Hi , you have a fantastic voice, Me and my partner thinking of moving to Thailand . Is renting a car for a yer is an good option?

Thanks! Scooter video!

2 baht / km sounds about right for the Yamaha Aero..... I had a 1997 Honda Dream, which I used as a weekend runabout and also toured quite a bit racking up about 210,000 km over 16 years. Bought for 15,000, sold for 4,000...... did better than 50 km / litre on a new gasohol comparable carb.... about 42 km/litre on the old carb. oil changed every 2000 km (110 baht) add in other costs (tyres, brakes, new clutch, new carb, engine overhaul etc as required) it worked out total cost of ownership was about 1 baht / km..... about 12,500 a year, or a little over 1,000 a month..... cheap motoring! My daily ride, however, was a bicycle..... with the cost of parts for bicycles being much more expensive than for a motorcycle, annual cost of maintenance was about the same as the motorcycle. The only saving was on fuel, which made up about half the cost of running the Dream. Bought the bicycle for 4,000 baht.... gave it away after I guess more than 100,000 km of use over 16 years..... all up cost probably about 0.5 baht per km

I am sat here in my hotel room in Cambodia I just poped in a mento from the packet. To lift my spirits.. Looking forward to some good news..from ride for kicks. These videos cheer me up in this dark bleak and cruel world.. And then BANG Lucas has sold his bike.. WOT ? I felt a tear gathering and welling in my glass eye.. This is very sad news.. It's a dark day.. :-(

Scooter?

good info. so is bang san closed down like pattaya?

Great deal !

👍👌👏👌👏👌👏👌👏👍👏 From Argentina 🙋🙋🙋

I've been told that in Thailand, Suzuki's depreciate at a significantly higher rate than Honda/Yamaha. Have you noted whether this holds true in the research you've done?

the noise alone would drive me insane.

Can you please give us some updates about corona in thailand.

It seems like you had a decent bike already. Are you planning to go to a full size? Or just wanted a change?

Please do a real time video of how corobavirus is effecting thialand. I am scheduled to be in Thailand on Sunday given there are no more travel bans. Thanks, I love the videos

Interesting thx

try a tricity

I don't know why I had it in my head that you had a PCX with an aftermarket high windshield. I guess it was camera angle for your moving video.

How much is the Honda x-adv second hand market today in Pattaya ?
