Buying A Motorbike In Thailand As a Foreigner

The time has come to buy my own motorcycle in Chiang Mai Thailand. After 2 and a half years riding a bicycle, I really needed to get that motorbike to move forward with my Thailand journey. Chiang Mai has many used motorcycle shops and markets around the city, with Ruamchok used motorcycle market being one of the most popular and biggest, with many motorbikes for sale. I wanted to stay with a Honda Click but I was also interested in the Yamaha Aerox. I had my money ready and was looking at buying it today! Did I purchase a bike?

    Two points of caution re buying bikes - the kilometres are routinely wound back at dealers and a lot of the people selling bikes at Ruamchok are actually dealers. Also, it is far more difficult to sell a bike then buy one in Thailand. However, you are still better of owning one both financially and for your safety.
