Buying a scooter in Thailand is a rite of passage for expats, and Dave shares exactly how the family bought their used Yamaha XMax 300 in Hua Hin. With just 6,000 kilometers on it, purchased from Tuk Mocyc, this video covers the shop, the bike, and what was included.
The Yamaha XMax 300 They Chose
Dave and Kim ended up buying a used Yamaha XMax 300 with just 6,000 kilometers on the clock, and they are very happy with the purchase. The XMax is a popular maxi scooter choice for expats who want more comfort and highway capability than a small step through, and the video shows the actual bike they brought home.
Where They Bought It
The scooter came from Tuk Mocyc, a used motorbike shop in Hua Hin that Dave recommends for anyone looking for a used scooter in the area. Knowing a trusted local dealer matters in Thailand, where buying secondhand from an unknown seller can be risky for newcomers.
