Cost of Buying a Used Motorcycle at Thai Prices -- Chiang Mai

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members  There are many things to see and do around Thailand. I f you decide to stay a while or retire in Thailand then you should purchase your own transportation. Transportation is inexpensive. You can even own a great little motorcycle that will get you around town for $500. Normally I would let a Thai negotiate the price for me so I wouldn't get a higher price which could happen some times. But if you don't have a Thai that could accompany you, how can you get the same price as a Thai person? If you live in Chiang Mai, here's how!

JC's Day Trip Cruising the 100 km Samoeng Loop, Thailand

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members  One of the most fun outdoor activities in northern Thailand is cruising around the country roads that wind through the hills around Chiang Mai. And people who like day trips from Chiang Mai will be pleased to know there is one cool option. You can take your own bike or rent a bike and do it yourself on this beautiful 90km all day experience that takes you through excellent mountain views, waterfalls, beautiful gardens, adventure activities, elephant camps, orchid and butterfly farms and places to eat.
Getting away from Chiang Mai's hectic, polluted and slightly dangerous driving conditions is great. Traffic slows to a trickle as the scenery changes from businesses into the lush foothills and eventually deep into the mountainous North Country. This is a gorgeous journey, especially for motorcyclists.
Conditions on the countryside roads are surprisingly good. There are thousands of kilometers of paved and good dirt roads crisscrossing the mountains between Chiang Mai and the Burmese border. You could sleep in guesthouses or camp and have weeks of exploration, giving you an excellent chance to interact with the Thai locals. But for people who do not have the time to do that, the Samoeng Loop is a great option.
Follow along with me for the day and enjoy our journey!
