If you live in Thailand 5 months a year, purchasing is a better value in as little as 2 years (10 months).

We bought an electric golf cart to get around with since there are no taxis in the area we live - works if you do not live in a built up area with heavy traffic, but would not work in places like Bangkok or very busy areas. If we need to go further than the limited radius which is quite rare - we either rent a car or hire a car and driver. In most places though Bold/Grab are both rather reasonable. I walk a lot though too (for health) so it really doesn't make sense to own a car with all the responsibilities and associated costs if you aren't needing it regularly.

Mary Gerber can you register the cart and get insurance?

Jukka Schärlund for the one I have you need no registration and insuring it would be more costly than replacing it (bought off Lazada 36,000 baht 4 years ago lol) If you are considering one though - the ones with 4 wheels are more stable than 3 wheels but they go very slow. (I don't mind the slowness as I am never in a rush these days)

Mary Gerber The value of your cart is irrelevant. The insurance is mainly for liability cover if you hit someone/something.
