The conditions are almost the same in the hotel and on the street - 200 baht per day, passport as a deposit, gasoline at your own expense. Houses in travel agencies scare in advance, as well as the host guides are already on vacation, the Internet is full of sentimental stories ... It may well be anything. It is in Phuket that they warn about the danger of winding roads, on which sand is applied and you can fly away well. Plus, in the event of an accident, a local resident will always be right in any case. Sometimes rogue islanders, when returning the bike, begin to say that "there were no such scratches!" It is better to immediately inspect carefully when hiring, if there are scratches and dents - take a picture and draw the attention of the landlord. Instead of a passport, give them a copy.
It is necessary to start driving very carefully, not immediately pouring into a large stream, out of habit, left-hand traffic is stunning. Especially the confusion when turning, the most difficult at the crossroads is turning right, the reflexes work in such a way that they will take out no one knows where, and the Thais are not the most decent drivers - they are worn like scalded, three pieces on a bike, not including children and dogs. If you are a good driver, after a couple of kilometers you will adapt, and everything will be great, but you definitely can’t relax!

Especially do not regret that you did not take. We didn’t take it either, although my husband has been driving a motorcycle since childhood - we are both tall, we looked at how they drive, who rides, what roads, what motorbikes you can rent and decided that it was better to refrain and in the end turned out to be right. Our friends went for the first time - they were very pleased, they traveled all over Phuket on a motorbike, and the second time they fell, and on a normal road, at low speed, thank God, without fractures and severe injuries, but they ruined their vacation for 4 days - with scratches you can’t climb into salt water - it stings a lot, the skin was peeled off badly - and the legs couldn’t go on excursions, they didn’t bend - they sat in the room and climbed on the Internet. Yes, and paid for the motorbike in full. Although many tourists take it and everything is fine, but here everyone decides to take risks or not.

Hello everyone! The question is certainly interesting, to take or not to take? Once on the island, on the second day we realized that we couldn’t do without transport, after weighing all the pros and cons, we decided to take a motorbike, it was possible to take a car, well, it’s very difficult for them to park. Briefly explain why we decided to use the rental services. Firstly, we lived far from Patong and Kata, and every time it was expensive to use taxis and tuk-tuks. Secondly, we were constantly mobile, sat down and went to Phuket, to put it simply, in 12 days of staying on the island we rolled it all up. We traveled day and night. I’ll say right away that I don’t have rights to this type of transport, in fact, I didn’t need them at all, since we took the helmets from the owner of the motorbike, and we could say we rode according to the rules. Gasoline refueled ourselves, refuel in the morning and all day spar wherever we want. It was fun. The rental price for that period was 200 baht, well, here, too, how to bargain, we came across a very nice secret woman who over the last 4 days of rental took 150 baht from us, apparently she liked us very much. The fact that they write that it is necessary to inspect the transport is indisputable, since they can impose a motorbike that is not quite serviceable, but they can ask how it is for a new one. Well, that's all.

The fact that you are lucky is a fact. Two days ago, two corpses left for Russia. In Patong, we drove under a truck, having lost control of a motorbike on a mountain. God forbid anyone. Not sure - don't risk it. Life is more precious. Money can be earned. Life is not.
