I’m love motorbike and already see myself having three bikes. One probably will be a PCX for going around town buying groceries, taking daughter to school etc. one will be mountain bike or off road, and one probably a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 for style but small enough to get around the city. Of course it will be one bike at a time until I feel need and a budget for it. I can’t wait until summer 2014 Tony. Thanks for showing all the bikes, I am salivating….😅

Unfortunately we are not planning on moving to Thailand, but my wife and I are visiting Chiang Mai for a short break at the end of the month (from Australia). I have a question about the hiring of motorcycles/scooters. "Everybody" always talks about the scams, I was wondering about the risk's of getting scammed from a rental business?? Pre existing damage etc. I am an experienced rider, so not too concerned about the riding environment over there having ridden around Cairo and Vietnam, so well aware of the risks. Hopefully then smoke has cleared by the time we get there! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the vid's, I enjoy watching them, and will do until I convince my wife we need to move there!! Cheers

You can buy big bikes here, they are quite common. Thais prefer scooters because they are cheap economical transport. They are easy to ride around city also. Many are automatics and are easy to manoeuvre through congested traffic. I ride a big bike and a scooter. The big bike is tiring to ride around town but great for out of town. You don't really need a car here. But that's a matter of opinion

In the video, you mention that they need to take ur passport for a week but @idkyoo in the comments below asked if you had to give ur passport and you commented never to give ur passport as the Thai law says you need to always keep ur passport. Do u mean that the shop takes a photocopy of ur passport or do they literally take the passport? I can see how that would be a little scary, as you will have no proper documentation for a week. Apart from that, another great video.
