- Today we spend the day traveling a short distance away from Pattaya to answer a couple questions of where can we go and what kind of deals can we find. We stop and kick some tires along the way and look at some great resorts along the sea, each with a different flare and personality. Enjoy The Ride!

Great video as always, love the diversity of your content.
Thank You 👍👍
That's a nice looking truck, I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work..
Thanks Floyd 👍
Thanks for sharing Lucas, looking forward to seeing the hotel/restaurant etc 👍
Coming soon!
Awesome video again thanks and have a great day 🇺🇸🇹🇭🇦🇺🍺🙏👍
Thanks, you too!
Now THAT's one hell of a deal !!!
Love all your videos,always interesting and informative. My friend had a brand new MG 1958 sports car.Payed around $2800...those were the days..I bought a 58 Austin Healey sports care in 1960 for $1300....42 mpg.Went across the country (USA) twice with it lol!.....
Looks like a beautiful resort! Interesting to see that MG is still in business. Lots of people drove them 50 years ago in my neighbourhood.
The Chinese just bought the brand. So it is a new company.
keep up those informative and positive posts please !
Great place
KUDOS for another GREAT SHARE and video! Yep, you and I both remember the MG Sports cars.... had an MGB, loved it as it was low and wide... I am with you though, for $20K a NEW Diesel pickup to haul your bike(s) would be great, and especially if made locally.... too bad we can't get the smaller diesel pickups in US, with an manual transmission! GReat resorts too! All the BEST to both of you, and thank you again! Cheers :)
Right on! Yeah, the other funny thing here is that Isuzu trucks are about the most expensive in the market. I remember in the 80's they sold Isuzu trucks in the US and they were the cheapest of the cheap back then. Now they only sell medium duty larger trucks in the US I believe but with small Diesel engines.
Yeah I think if I lived here and travelled like you do or plan to. Bikes in the back would be great. Liked the river just behind the beach. I need to wander south more.
Great videos keep them coming. Not overly impressed with the diesel truck but it is definitely different. I think the resorts are pretty sweet. I must agree with you river and and ocean probably looks impressive drop a fishing line with the little boat. Also the most impressive is Vee's mask is it Marley? Real cool may need to get one.
I would recommend buying a used Hilux before a MG product since they are owned by China nowdays, we dont really know how many miles their engines can run, while a Hilux is indestructable
Yeah, Toyota seems less expensive than Isuzu. Back in the day, Isuzu was available in the US and their truck was the absolute lowest when compared to all the other brands. Here it seems the most expensive.
@@Rides4Kickz MG sells cars in Australia but not trucks so I found this video very interesting. Thanks.
Back in the day when MG made sports cars 🇬🇧 now Chinese i won't touch with a barge pole , recently bought a car in chonburi , my options - Isuzu mux , Toyota Fortuna , mitsubishi pajero . I went for the pajero . Seen a few MG pick-ups in the dark side . Keep the vidio's coming 👍🏴🇬🇧🏴
@@stephen897 Not touching means you are missing a good deal on a good product.
@@stephen897 Well as an ex mechanic I must say MG'S always needed a lot of attention and maintenance but now that the Chinese have taken over this brand the quality and the 7-year warranty make these cars very attractive, my daughter bought the MG3 in Dec 2020 after hitting a Kangaroo and wrote off Toyota Yaris. The finish on them is good apple car play is great. MG3 has six airbags, electronic stability control, reversing camera, and parking sensors.
Nice video Lucas……I see you are getting close to 50k subscribers…..that’s awesome!
Thanks! 😃
Thanks Lucas….. my friend had a Triumph Spitfire in the 70s, that we ran around in in Daytona. I don’t know about the quality and service availability of the MG or the Colorado here in Thailand with Chevy pulling out . I have a 2015 Colorado , Deisel 2.6, four door and have had no issues. Like as much room as I can get… 6’ 1”.. and you probably know this, that everything moves forward when carrying heavy loads in the back of a pick up. So, with a good set of tie downs, it’s not a problem running with the tailgate down. Of course, another option is to buy a trailer. They really come in handy on trips allowing more cargo options and much easier to load/unload the bike. Just some thoughts. Thanks
Used to drive a MG midget convertible when I was in my late teens. It was an absolute death trap, no roll bar, legs buried under the steer column basically lying on your back.....it was tons of fun driving but if you crashed you were spam in a can
Haha, yeah a lot of them around in the early 70's, not many car safety regs back then, don't think the seatbelt was even mandatory until 73
That was interesting about MG especially the pick up truck
great looking places
Indeed!
It actually seems like a good deal for the pickup truck.
Good video Loucas 👍
Thanks 👍
Another cheap pickup truck to look at is Tata. When I was looking at second hand pickup's a while back in Thailand I seen one or two Tata trucks. A simple Indian design. At first I thought it was a Hilux. Lol. I've heard their trucks are not bad. 389,000 - 499,000 THB or $11,675 - $14,950 new 👍
I like you, prefer the 1 with the river, ticks all my boxes, river, jungle, beach and, almost a bamboo hut, I like the look of the wooden slats on the walls of the huts/rooms/bungalows, I especialy like the idea of coming onto the steps by the river.
Yeah, well said, that's definitely a draw for me as well.
gotta make your episodes longer pls.. i enjoy them alot
Very good Camera Quality Lucas Very nice video
THanks Michael.
Very nice hideaway
It’s a joke that MG still use the Union Jack 🇬🇧 and push the heritage photos at the garage those cars are pure China 🇨🇳
I take it this is the same MG that made the small convertible I would see quite often in the USA in the 1970's and 1980's?
@@wasatchm no that was when MG were a British company, from memory MG went bankrupt and a Chinese company bought the brand and a few blueprints of some of their previous (poor) cars. That Chinese company tried to remarket MG brand back into the UK but you very rarely see any now
very interesting. I know u probably can't buy ford or GM in thailand. can u buy toyota, nissan or hyndai?
@@wasatchm asian brand are the majority especially Toyota, but you do see others I even saw a Volvo V40 same car as I have in the UK
@@wasatchm Ford manufactures in Thailand, Ranger Everest etc, so did GM until recently.
Most of the Japanese and Korean are also made in Thai
That’s a pretty cool resort with both the “klong” on one side and the ocean on the other. I’d say that’s pretty unique for sure! 😊 I’d go there for your B day, Lucas. I’ll bring some baits😂😊
Haha, might have a go.
Thank you very much. I can see Pattaya from my dining room in California
You are most welcome
Nice 😁😁👍
Thanks 😆
Hi Lucus i would pick the rooms with the jungle veiw and the small boat on the water it would be great at night just hearing the sound of the jungle insects so much more relaxing than the sea and the beach is in a hand throw so you have a bit of both very nice.
Yeah, I think I will 👍
One of my biggest regrets not buying an MG 2 door sports car while in the USAF stationed in the U.K, you could buy brand new for about 8 grand at the time. British Leyland.
MG sports cars in the UK comes under the classic cars category. Still holding their money , a MGB GT in good condition would set you back 20 , 25 , Thousand dollars . I look quite a bit at the classic car auctions online in the UK. . I wish I could import them into Vietnam but the Tax would be very heavy.
Good viewing, ute looked good for the price.
MG is Shanghai Motors of China, they bought the brand. These are Chinese vehicles assembled in Thailand
Support the CCP and buy an MG ;-) its got a ring to it.
Yes only thing British is the badge brand
@@mga71 🤣🤣🤣
Jeff, thanks for the heads up. Saw an MG exhibit at a shopping mall when we were last in Bangkok and thought they looked good and was surprised they were still in business, now I know why and how.
Very nice😀
Thanks 😊
Jungle river or oceanfront - Those are nice Resorts. 👍
Yes they are! Prefer the river one I think 👍
Damn that truck is a great deal
I've owned 5 Pick-ups in my life time, all Toyota, I keep them for 10 years and then get another one. Things to look for in a truck, Tie downs for the back, turning radius, Ground clearance. Horse power, Power steering, The pick-up I have now has quad cabe 4 door. Big truck. The turning radius is not so good but acceptable, You can't have everything. Toyota's have a great driving life I'm not sure about the MG???? I didn't get a very good look at the bed of the truck, but I didn't see any tie downs??? If you going to haul your Motorcycle around you defiantly need them. If it's a diesel engine it should have a low end power range, good, you're not going 80 miles an hour down the road. Changing Oil is a must, I change mine every 3000 miles. I don't care what they say about the oil, it still gets dirty. I have 170,000, 00 miles on my truck. Still going strong. For the price that a great deal, Just hope it lasts.
Agree, I had 5 Toyota's all great vehicles.
I remember buying a brand new Toyota pickup in 1994, it was a good deal and decent truck even though I bought the most basic one at the dealership, but I've owned several Toyota cars since then as well and had no complaints on any ot them.
Tundra or Tacoma's last for ever ! Then Aus has the Series 70 Landcruisers !
my dad owned a mgb and told me that although it was fun to drive, the poor british quality meant he was always repairing it, funny reading some of these comments from brits as to the poor chinese quality.....haha
Absolutely love the content of all your vlogs. The haunting music at the start of this vlog and many others is permanently etched in my mind. What is the music called?
Glad you enjoy it! But different each episode.
Chemistry -Tape Machines
I had an MG Midget when I was in high school in the early 70s. I'd drive it during the week and tinker with it on the weekend. I still maintain George Lucas was the man who invented darkness--it's hard to imagine worse electrics. :-) That said, I loved that car, and later compounded my pain by buying a Triumph Spitfire. Another source of neverending maintenance, but great fun to drive. The current MGs are a sold name badge to give some name recognition to a new Chinese discount automobile. If you like the truck, it's up to you, but remember, the only relationship the new ones have to the old ones is that chrome MG badge.
Personally, I would not buy one, even though the outsides look good, and the chrome name badge does have some appeal to good memories. I know Toyotas are a bit more expensive, and Toyota does not do 'cutting edge'. Toyota's specialty is 'last forever with minimal routine maintenance'. I bought one of those four door HiLux "Isaan Specials" just before I left Pattaya and moved to Isaan. I've ordered and am waiting for a Corolla hybrid. I'm in my mid-60s and I'll probably crap out before either of those two vehicles.
Hi Mate, My daughter bought the base model MG3 in Dec 2020 for $16990 AUS = 417,225 THB. Here in Brisbane Australia, I believe it is now selling for $17990 AUS = 441,782 THB, It's a great little car, and as much as I have always been a GM/GM Holden man this company is going to be a real force in the automotive industry
Good to hear 👍
Very Nice find ( both places ). You are always keeping your eyes open & finding these gems. Regarding the MG Brand the ones in the Philippines are mostly the SUV's and the reputation is not all that good, the same in Central America and made in China. Perhaps the ones built in Thailand have a better build & better customer service. Can't wait to see the next venue.
Thanks for sharing!!
@@Rides4Kickz You really amaze me with your finds and all the things you do. There never is any fluff in your videos. Just straight forward info & entertainment. Soon you will be breaking the 50K Subscriber mark with zero hype.
Where can You go ?? I would just get on the Bike and
get LOST.....Nice looking Truck....And the Price isn't bad..
Glad you two can still get out and not be restricted to
Home..
Yeah, Ray, that would be awesome 👍
Lucas, Happy early Birthday😁
Not for another 2 weeks, but thank You 👍
I went to a friend's birthday party at sunset Village. He's an expat. Great food and drinks on the front lawn of the pool and beach. He payed for the lot and said that it was cheap as for the party.
Nice 👍
Lmfao, the amount of times you chuckle and say "I don't know", hahahaha, Is that a legal disclaimer? I went back and ran through a few more of you vlogs and yes it's a thing... love it! 👍
Haha, I don't know anything 🤣
I bought the GWM cannon here in NZ (because we can't travel we're spending money at home these days) 4 x 2 truck, 5 year warranty 100k it's awesome... So many people bought them here and in Oz. I was weary at first but having done 10k already hasn't missed a beat. Chinese designed, made in the Thai factories like all the other ford ranger and Hilux...750k baht
Nice, hard to go wrong at that price point.
@@Rides4Kickz also love your channel, keep up the good work. Whenever this sh** is over I'll visit Thailand again and buy you a drink.
👍
Does the MG pickup truck come in a 4 wheel drive version? That would be great for some of those muddy village back roads
Nice price for a diesel engine truck...under $20k is practically unheard of. However, I've been told by a friend that despite the warranties offered, MG has a reputation for taking a long time to get their vehicles serviced. Apparently, the replacement parts had to be shipped from abroad and it took a couple months. Not sure if others in Thailand have had the same experience though.
Have you managed to get a Covid vaccine yet? Or have you enquired about a private vaccination, and how much would it cost? I’m glad you and Vei are doing what you can too help out in Pattaya
MG pick-up: leather or mock leather? This is only a two door and is a manual, and has a relatively small engine as, of course, you mention. That's why it's so cheap. But you want a bigger load space for your bikes, so I get your point.
Has to make you wonder if buying a potentially unreliable truck from a lesser known brand like MG is a better deal than paying 3 times more for a Toyota or Isuzu due to the import taxes. I'm curious how the residual value for the extender will be vs Hilux or D-Max?? Great Video!
MG is owned by SAIC Motors (Chinese owned car manufacturer, I think the largest in China, General Motors even has a Joint Venture with them, sales for 2020 were $108 Billion USD (not too shabby, a little less than Ford ($127BB USD) or GM ($122BB USD). It has excellent quality nowadays, nothing to worry about, but I would get an automatic because of the traffic. I like the looks of that compact/mid sized pickup!
Wow, if they are nipping at the heels of Ford and GM, they seem to be getting some global traction.
@@Rides4Kickz yes but for now they are not in USA!
We have the new Santa Cruz coming here in the States 4 door truck. The bed is only 4’ so it wouldn’t work for you. Seems like that MG would work here though. Looks like a nice truck. Ford has the Maverick which might work if you have Ford over there.
2 door are classed as commercial vehicle and much cheaper on tax. 4 door are much higher yearly tax.
MG is here in the Netherlands GOOD and sevice top
Nice 👍👍
I have an Isuzu Dmax in Australia Lou and it's great, Personally I wouldn't touch an MG. This once desirable brand of vehicle is now Chinese owned and despite being built in Thailand (like my Isuzu) there still an unknown quantity. But like everything, they will appeal to a certain segment of the market and seam to be well appointed for the price!
but what a resort ,beautiful and prices relatively cheap ,that's why they come ,when possible .
Mgs are a Chinese owned brand now and are usually not known for reliability but just as a cheap option
MG Chinese very reliable, more reliable than BL MG's.
Have you seen the new Ford Maverick in the US? The entire small truck market in the US dissapeard 10 years ago, but the demand is pent up for smaller trucks. I think Ford is on to something.
No way! I owned a Ford Maverick, was one of my first cars. I will google that one, Thanks.
Nice spot but how do you get there ?
Wish you would video the Ford Ranger Raptor. We can’t buy the “Ranger Raptor” in the States. We can only get the puny Ranger. Love your videos.✌️
Sorry to hear that, I'll see what I can do.
@@Rides4Kickz Thanks.
It's only diesel 2.0 with twin turbos... overpriced imho.
@@martynrollinson We might get the “Ranger Raptor” in 2023 with a gas 2.7 twin turbo V6 or a 3.0 turbo diesel.
Lucas just seen a 2020 MG Extender Pick-up on Kaidee Met Grey not a year old yet 468,000 it's at a BKK trader.
How about a Suzuki Carry? or a Isuzu type vehicle? you can get a semi-half cover over the back with opposing bench seating and easily load 2 motorcycles in the bed.... I've heard that they are really dependable and economical?
The Suzuki is like $10,000.00 and the Isuzu is $14,,000.00? plus you will blend in low-key ha ha
Do they come with radar cruise control now?
Passed my driver license test back in '71 in my friends MG Midget
Nice 👍
I would say the price on the truck is appropriate given that it is built in Thailand.
klong is canal ,manmade ,river is 'menam'
Yeah, pretty sure this is some sort of man made overflow canal but made up to look like a river for the resort area.
My GF has a 2010 Chevy Aveo CNG/Gas hybrid 1.6L. And boy does it save money. There's just enough stations every 100km and cost 160 baht or so to refill, that last us about 5 days of typical around town driving and one RT 40km trip a week. We only use the gas to start it, or if we run out of the CNG. I would like to buy an early model car or truck like it. But if it's not OEM, I'm not sure how it can be insured,. I would prefer a CNG SUV than another Chevy, but I'm still open to another Chevy.
Yeah, I see some of those CNG stations on my travels 👍
MG going big into EV's especially in countries that will be getting rid of ICE cars in the near future.
Björn Nyland did some nice videos on the electric MG.
He bought it for his parents in Thailand. About one year ago.
MG brand is popular in Thailand cos it's cheap. Can't beat Ford Ranger wildtrak
When buying a MG you are buying nostalgia and nothing else.
Restaurants are open there and dining inside or take away?
Not really, only for the resort guests I believe.
Just wondering how flexible the Thai car dealerships are with the prices? Don't remember too many vloggers negotiating a better price for new cars and motorcycles.
No they're not, discounts are set by manufacturers...the dealer just give you free stuff,like tinted windows etc.
Was thinking of getting an older MG Guliette
Cant afford a new one here ..they are double the price what you pay there
Wow, yeah, that's quite a markup.
@@Rides4Kickz 100% import tax!
SAIC bought MG in 2005 because they wanted to acquire the Rover Powertrain K-series engine
MG use to be British. Ford Maverick is coming out base $20,000
Used to have a blue Maverick 1974 🤣
I am subscribed, why did they stop sending me your videos?
That is a SUPER deal on the pick up!
What are the taxes and insurance??
probably only about 100 USD per year.
@@Rides4Kickz first years insurance free,then about 10-12 insurance...3k tax 2 door.
Single cab, extra cab, dual cab, easy
Nice lookin Trucks for the $
Yeah, couldn't find anything wrong with it.
The Chinese brought out the MG car company. That looks like a good deal but would I buy Chinese!!!
Avoid the MG ,,, you will find that spare parts are like other Chinese products almost impossible to get after a year . Get say a Mazda BT 50 or HIlux they hold their value .
What are the PRICES for CONDOS now that the Thailand Economy has TANKED! NOW that would be a GREAT SERIES! Another CONDO TOUR
About the same, but there are more deals or "firesales" as they are commonly called.
Talk about warranty on these vehicles. To me just getting a 3 year 60, 000 mile warranty doesn't cut it any more. The electronic in new car means the average tech can no longer service these vehicles and the dealership are the anyone's. That have the ability to work on them. Expensive when a car is out of warranty.
MG trucks are rebranded Chevrolet truck, with chinese quality. Please be aware they have problems and weak after service. Parts take long to arrive. I live in Chiang Mai and looked at them, and bought finally a 4-door Toyota Hilux Rocco. Better quality, after service and much more worth when reselling. Isuzu really the same, high service, good reselling price. But not the 4 door ones from Isuzu. Secondhand these are not popular.
Just a point - just under 300k MGBs were shipped to North America. But I was just looking online last night at the MG line in Thailand - thanks for reviewing the pu. Cheers.
Nice Jeff, 👍
The charm of the old MG name (Morris Garages) is long gone. In years past I had MG Midget soft top and MGB GT hard top. My Dad even had on MGA soft top some 60 years ago.. Now owned by Chinese Company. I try hard not buy Chinese.
Yeah, I can see that, totally different company now days.
Well done mate , I can’t believe people are still buying goods from them after what they have done to the world . Just shows in today’s world there’s No morals principles of scruples left
Nice resorts ,but i'd worry with all that vegetation around the accommodation ,at night the mosquitoes would have a field day 🤦♂️
The link with the original MG brand is extremely deluted. Current MG is a Chinese brand that bought the name.
You need it or do you want it. With me it's always I want it according to my wife :)
Yeah, that's about right
An MG truck with a stick shift and diesel? You're nuts.
The oil Rich States with there own beleavs should take care of them and sort there problems out .
It looks like a triton
The MG company is Chinese and not looked on very favourably in the car trade.
$19,000US would buy you a 10+ older plain Jane sketchy truck here in the US.
You could buy the truck and carry the cute little yellow car in the bed:)
MG rules...cheers
MG..has amazing resale..Like used toilet paper..🥾🥾🥾🥾
Those MG are popular among Thai people because they are cheap since there's no exuberant 300% import tax on them lol.
The MG Marque was bought by the Chinese, they no longer make MG vehicles in the U.K.
Thank Christ for that! Nice designs, but so badly made!
