Hello Charles:

I just bought an Airblade 4 months ago in Hua Hin. I tried to negociate the price but no way

This being said, I find them very efficient and very friendly. I got the Airblade in 15 minutes, with the red license plate.

1 month later I got the usual license plate and 2 weeks after the sticker so that I have paid taxes.

They have a good staff. The only thing is they do not speak very well English.

It's a small shop is on your left handside when heading south, 800 m before Hua Hin center.

Honda main dealers seem to charge the same price everywhere so you may as well go to Hua Hin.
This price list seems to be accurate as I had someone check on a price for a Honda Wave just a couple of days ago; it was the same as a dealer in Nong Ki and in Hua Hin.
It will just cost you a couple of thousand more for insurance and registration to get it on the road.

We have bought 2 new motorbikes during the last three years.
Always found Pranburi to be 2000-3000 baht cheaper than Hua Hin.

Not the same bike then. They don't make that on a bike. The reason why they don't bargain is that they only make about 4% at the main dealers.

As STEVE G says they are nationally controlled prices.

The main Honda dealer in HH is OK and has quite a large stock but I wouldn't trust them to service a wheelbarrow,
