Great to see you guys every day, love your videos help get me thru this pandemic, always bring a smile to my face

What a fantastic gift for Soi Mafia! 🛵 Chuck, you're definitely an all-around great guy and a thoughtful son-in-law. 😁👍🏽👍🏽🛵

Congratulations on the new scooter!! That should last a long time and everyone will get some enjoyment out of it.

THAT WAS FUN! thanks for the vicarious shopping trip love the scooter.. good choice. I approve :)

Thanks Chuck for this vlog. I just got my car and motorcycle license here in Lamphun last week. Friday I have plans to shop for a scooter...this was perfect info.

Very nice gesture from you to the Mother in law. Thanks for sharing Chuck and Paige and Soi Mafia

Darn, you're a great son inlaw Chuck, you must have made up quite a few 'browny points ', with that gift. LOL . That whole video was most enlighting thanks again for inviting us all along. Cheers guys.

That was really nice of you for helping the family out and family unity is very important!! More people need to realize that!! Keep up the great videos!

You are a lucky dude!! Your wife and her family just seem so great!!

Been to Thailand twice both with 18 and 19 years old and riding a really similar honda bike. Is so different how even little kids ride around with those scooters. Hope she enjoyed her new bike!

Great vlog Chuck! Lots of good info when shopping for a scooter. White is nice .... just be glad she didn't go for the pink one. :) Thanks for sharing!

Well done Chuck nice scooter. What a win win situation, keep Mum happy and you get to ride it as well, good thinking, happy motoring.

Good job it’s good knowing you can get somewhere and back in one piece good haggling to take care daz

Hello Chuck and Paige, that was very interesting. The white scoopy looks stunning. Cheers

Good man Chuck, taking care of the family.

He said he cared for his Mom-in-Law very much and didn't want her driving a dangerous old defective scooter!! Dude did the right thing and also gains piece of mind that she will be in a much safer set of circumstances!!

Just a all round good guy Chuck. Now we need to see some video of her flying down the road on that Hog. 125cc has got to be pretty quick. I live next to the U of A & the college kids drive those things in packs but anything 50cc or lower they don't require a DL to ride so the hippies love them. I've seen those things getting on it pretty fast so I can't imagine a 125.. in the states that would have cost at least double that. Looks like you made her day. Your due some good Karma for all the good you do.. I cannot wait to see what all comes your way.. thanks for another great video! Can't wait to see what is next!

Thank you so very much for sharing this with us ❤blessings from North Texas

Nice video, Chuck.

cool little run around!

Nice job mate.

Nice!!! This is a great video for a lot of people. I'm gonna share this video on my twitter and facebook if thats cool. I think a lot of people are interested in buying a bike in Thailand and this is a good video on it :) ZinsWorld

Top job Mate.

Nice buy there Chuck , that price is good for a new one, can't beat a Honda.

I like how you negotiate on camera about the warranty, etc. They can't lie to you..lol

Your wife looks exactly like her mom. Nice.

You are strange...You love your mother-in-law!! Anyway, Honda is a good brand; it's been around for looooooong times. Good pick, my man.

Thank You, This really Helped

Something tells me she was very happy.good luck riding the new bike Chuck...lol....

👍🏻 on getting her a new moped.

AWESOME CHUCK.

That was very nice of you

Awesome Chuck! Thanks for getting prices on bigger bikes. I'm with you on the CFR although @ 3 times the price of the scooters it's not worth it unless it going to be your primary vehicle for touring solo.

Ah Chuck, I'm happy. You and Mum have made my day. Every time we walk by a motorbike shop in Chiang Rai I can't help but look at the colourful range that is available and dream. If I lived over there I would definitely ride one but here in Australia I would never consider it. Roads too busy and motor bikes are too expensive.

THANKS BROTHER FOR EVERYTHING, RESPECT MORROCO

WOW chuck. $1667.00 for the scooter is not bad. You really love your mother-in-law. Good for you. Take care.

Just bought a Honda wave110 , 45,000 from a Honda dealer in chok chai korat, had some great bikes there, just like the ones you were looking at, could get carried away in there.

very cheap motorbikes n nice video, enjoyed thoroughly...... many thanks for the video...

1:45 made me smile, I love that about Thai family, when something needs done it's never a solo mission, everybody's coming and we'll probably end up phoning someone else t join us too lol

Honda Scoopy is the better buy. Honda have 72% of the motor bike market in Thailand and the factory is in Thailand. I did so much research back in 2012 on scooters before buying the Honda Scoopy. Honda engines are robust compared to the Yamaha and the 110cc PDI is very reliable. White is the best colour especially for being seen at night. I also recommend to buy new because of the three year warranty that Honda give and Thais never service anything. You bought the correct scooter in the correct colour.

I’m so glad that I have stumbled upon this old vlog of yours….. I just love ❤️ Ms Mafia and I miss watching the two of you together on your videos! By-the-way, that’s a cute little scooter Chuck, what’s the make of it??? Anyway, I hope that you & Page will make it back to Thailand 🇹🇭 soon!!!

Check for auctions in Thailand, too. You can get a great deal on a scooter. There’s one in Chiang Mai nearly every week.

your right chuck, I think you got a good price on that bike, here in u.s a scooter is about the same price as a basic motorcycle. and I would have picked the honda scooter over some of the other brands.

Really glad I ran across this. My friend wants a motorbike and this makes it more simple for me.

$2,000 AUD - sounds OK . Those Scooters are indestructible . I certainly wouldn't buy a bigger 'bike - temptation to go fast . 125cc is big enough for your needs .

I picked up an UBCO electric bike and the one thing that I found that was radically different with an "auto" type bike is that you have to be sure to hit the kill switch before getting on or off as if it is on an incline and rolls, you will twist the throttle trying to hold it and launch the bike like a missile. just a matter of learning a proceedure to avoid.

Hi Chuck,Paige and soi Mafia, great to give your mother-inlaw a new motor bike!! I give my one an electric chair, but she dont want to sit on it:):)

Lmao chuck ... cheers for doing this vlog great info .. my wife doesn’t listen either lol 😂

Very Cool!

I paid $1500 for my lawn tractor. That is a good deal. And you cannot beat the Honda products.

Wish they were that cheap in the US. Great gift for mom.

Excelent video Chuck very good

Very nice moped, great price, Soi Mafia needs to get some kind of basket accessory for grocery store trips.

Love the video wish you could have got little more prices

Good to see her get the white and not the black. She'll be much more visible. Wow! small bikes are so cheap. Nice one Chuck. :)

It was nice!

Those Honda 110cc Waves and Honda 110cc Zoomers are all over Thailand, and for good reason, reliability. Yamaha is also very good. Glad you stick with Honda and Yamaha. As for you, Id recommend a Honda 300, or 500 motorcycle.

Aloha Chuck, sorry I must have missed it... as a westerner trying to buy a new or used bike what documentation is required? Passport, good with visa for at least 3 months, what else?

And, the Farang Son-In-Law of the year award goes to... Chuck! Here to present you with your case of Johnny Walker Black... MeeMaw! Great video, it was informative and you made everybody happy in this one. Well, except for one miserable person who gave you a dislike. That person must have mother-in-law issues. :)

Very nice scooter

I make 2 liters per 100km with grand filano, and 3 liters with PCX road tax is around 600 bahts per year , after 5 years need gas test once a year at 60 bahts. lock your bike with a pin disk locker every time u park it even at tesco, mine was stolen with a screwdriver and a hammer, they destroyed the lock just behind me in a few seconds and they runed away.

Very kool

If my wife was there, she could get you the price for about $40,000 baht out the door. She is really really good with negotiating. We have a Honda scooter as well in Thailand, but our is 2013 model and not hybrid. I think it was 30,000 baht out the door. I love it and it goes pretty quick. That's our transportation to get around my wife's home town in Kanthararom, Sisaket province whenever we visit.

I'm suppose they do have second's hand/used motorbikes.. Do these are sold with assurance/reparation's contract?

P.S. And that Honda hybrid scooter was a cool ride!! Where can I get myself one!!

Dang couldnt do that lol, Have a 2012 Harley Ultra Classic Limited, 103ci or 1688 cc:-)

My wife has a Fino, 125cc. I think I paid about 40,000 for it in Udonthani. The white will be easy to see at night.

Hope she is careful. Do not want her in an accident... Hope it is a bit too big cuz she will get bored if it is too small...

My friend bought a new Yamaha motorcycle. I do not know the cost. It has three wheels. Two in the front, one wheel in the back. It is very stable, so unlikely to fall over. Comfortable seat with some storage under the seat. I would consider an electric bicycle. Can pedal it, or run on electric battery. Quiet, no noise, no pollution, no gasoline. The battery has to be recharged in a wall outlet. Exercise too. Personally, I have a girl’s 26 inch cruiser bicycle with a large front basket and two side baskets on the rear. No need for a license. I recommend a woman bike, so your leg can pass through the frame mounting. No need to sling your leg over the frame, as on a man’s bike.

the Fino is nice.

Chuck a good deed there mate,Soi Mafia happy = Paige happy=happy life

That's about half the price you'd pay in Sydney. You will have to report if Soi Mafia gets any speeding tickets.

How tall is your mother in law? She is so cute. You are a great person for caring for her.

It seems to me the "Honda Click" 125 cc motorbike is the most popular in Cha-am, I would think 30/35 %, auto about 45 km to litre or better. Can get along at 100 kph on freeway? but not around town. All little motorbikes around town are much safer then the big bikes as they a nippy in and out out traffic, It's usual for small bikes to proceed to the front of traffic by moving in between cars. Not so easy for big bikes.

Howdee how far can u go on that cute Hybrid scooter? Km per tank?

some wd40 on the throttle cable might have been a bit cheaper?.. my steed was 13,900 all in for a used Wave with a real clutch. Almost feels like a real bike but for the shift pattern being upside down. Na, I'm not cheap ;)

You very good

Chuck, how much does it cost to buy CB500X used bike ?

How is the scooter holding up after 4 years

I want a Yammerhammer AreoX 155 w/ABS supposed to be way better than the Honda PCX!

Where is this showroom located sir ?

you can buy a honda lawnmower for 300 bucks in usa, and thats top of the line!

Helmet saves lives !!! 🤙

i would get that cable fixed on the old one and sell it and recuperate some money for another bike .

Did you look at the alternative of buying a motorcycle limousine like the one that Klaus owns? Your relatives will have less problem with the height and they'll have good use for their business to transport a lot of things. I imagine it would not be too hard to disconnect the passenger attachment and use it as a standalone motorcycle when needed.

interesting video; Soi Mafia looked delighted! just a suggestion, when you guys are speaking Thai, especially you, how about some translation?

All smiles for sugar daddy.

That was a very nice thing to do for your Mother-in-law. Will you pay forward with the old bike to some person in need of one?

Get mag wheels less maintenance and easer to clean.

1:30 No foot-brake. I think a lot of them - even the bigger feet forward powerful scooters - have both brakes operating on a set mix/percentage on just the lever. There are so many bought on finance and repossessed basic 50cc step-thru in good condition can cost peanuts. Shockingly cheap. If you worked out how many calories it costs to walk a scooter is probably cheaper than hoofing it. Bigger bikes - 250, 350 - aren't much cheaper than in the West. I think the import duties hit them hard. If you can afford a bigger bike the state comes along with its hand held out. 11:30 46,000 baht. Even after Brexit that's basically a £1,000 (I think) Honda Wave. Good value. I always think with scooters big wheels are a key thing. You can't safely move off your line, there's a pothole, it's the bigger wheel that saves you. Little wheels go right in and you rip the whole fork backwards and do a twelve point landing.

Good choice Chuck :) Honda makes reliable strong scooters and 50K thb really isn't much for a brand new one. Was it a 110ccm or 125, I didn't quite get that? Don´t you have to have a motorcycle drivers license for scooters above 50ccm in Thailand btw?

What model of bike was that Chuck? What cc? It looked similiar to a Fino with the single front light, but the Fino was too high yes?

Good video and great advice on buying a scooter but it was also interesting to catch a brief glimpse of the Thai news on the tv in your home. Nicola Sturgeon, a Scottish politician, was doing what politicians do best, exercising their vocal chords. The interesting thing was that she was on your tv, here in the uk Thailand only makes the tv news if something huge happens, then we might see a senior government representative, probably not the leader of a regional opposition party.

Yamaha r150cc for 90k baht i saw in surin. Very good price

I have never wanted to take a scoot for a spin more than when watching these Thailand vlogs. Inexpensive. Not enough hp to kill yourself (within reason of course). And I freakin' love the colours. Dude, these vids are gold.

Wow 4 grand for a new CRF250!!! what a steal.

Should have got a video of her riding away...

Hi Chuck, is there a limit on how much you can withdraw from a "Thai bank" in one go or daily, or does it depend on what type of account you have with the bank?
