No idea

But there's a bloke who builds electric ones in Pak Nam Pran - I'm sure he would give you an idea :wink:

Just seen that he's responded - damn it

Hi there, I reopen this post in hope someone can help me where to find a nice sidecar for scooters here in Hua Hin.

Also if you have idea about the rules, if still ok just to have scooter driver licence .

Thanks in advance and happy new year.

It's technically illegal to have a sidecar on a bike (modification of a registered vehicle). However, you can register it with a sidecar made by the same manufacturer. Otherwise an ad-hoc sidecar (salaeng) can be registered after inspection by the motor vehicle dept. Even then you are only allowed to carry goods - not people.

Having said all that, everyone uses them and unless your involved in an accident, then the police tend to leave them alone.
