In this guide I’ll look at the process for buying and registering a bike; the costs involved and the pros and cons of riding a scooter in Thailand. In addition to having the cash to buy it – as you wont be able to get any type of loan, you’ll also need to register it in your name and, ideally, get a Thai driving license.

You can find a scooter on Facebook groups and Facebook shops. In high season, or straight after there are a lot of offers. You can also buy one straight from a dealer. Although, they sometimes cause some problems for the buyer and require more documents. Cost of a new Honda Click is 30,000 Baht and a used one costs 16,000 – 25,000 Baht.
