2025-01-06 Many hotels or hostels in Thailand offer scooter rental services. Based on personal experience, Thai expert Thai Ke provides five places that are ideal for scooter travel, where you are unlikely to encounter police checks, allowing for a relaxed and free trip!
[Scooter Rental]
In Thailand, as long as you know how to ride a scooter and are over 20 years old, you can rent one. It is recommended to rent a "no-gear, fuel-up-and-go" scooter from your hotel. This way, you won't need to deposit documents or leave a guarantee, and the rental charges are more flexible, allowing you to return the scooter conveniently when you check out.
1) The rental fee is typically charged on a daily basis (based on check-in and check-out time), around 300 baht per day. (1-day rental fee + 150 baht for fuel = 450 baht. If shared by two people, the transport cost is just 225 baht, which is very cheap and convenient.)
2) Both parties should check the condition of the scooter, start the engine, rev the throttle, and test the brakes.
3) In case of an accident, the renter is responsible for repairing the scooter and compensating for any injuries.
4) The fuel tank is full when renting the scooter, and it must be returned full as well.
[Riding Tips]
1) Thailand drives on the left, which is opposite to the right-hand driving in Taiwan. So, always keep in mind: keep to the left, keep to the left, keep to the left...
2) Although many locals don't wear helmets, for your safety, always wear one; it's also best to take it with you when you stop.
3) Stick to the side of the road, avoid overtaking, and always follow traffic rules such as traffic lights and speed limits.
4) If there is a parking lot (whether public or private), park your scooter there for better security.
5) If you are at an intersection without traffic lights and need to turn, be cautious of oncoming traffic.
1 | 2-Day, 1-Night Scooter Ride in Pai
Why has Pai, located in Mae Hong Son Province in northern Thailand, recently attracted a steady stream of foreign backpackers? Rent a scooter for a 2-day, 1-night trip and experience the charm of Pai!
First, arrange your accommodation and then rent a scooter by leaving your passport as a deposit (rental price is around 200-350 baht per day). Pai's attractions are scattered, and having a scooter is like giving wings to a bird, allowing you to freely roam: take beautiful photos at the big tree swing, have coffee at Coffee in Love, visit the WWII memorial bridge, watch the sunset at the Grand Canyon, enjoy delicious food at Pai Night Market, watch the sunrise at the Yunlai Viewpoint, soak in hot springs at Sai Ngam, and visit the Pai Big Buddha Temple.

2 | Scooter Ride Through Sukhothai's Old City Ruins
Sukhothai was the capital of the first Sukhothai Kingdom (1238-1436) and is known as the "beginning of happiness" in Thai. Sukhothai is the cradle of Thai culture, with many elements such as language, art, and laws originating here. If you want to understand Thailand, you need to first learn about the history of Sukhothai.
Stay at a small guesthouse across from the bus station (RUEANG SRI SI SI G.H.), and rent a small white scooter for 300 baht per day (deposit passport). The owner will provide a map of the Sukhothai Historical Park produced by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, starting your scooter journey to explore the "Sukhothai Ancient Ruins"!
Start your day early to catch the sunrise, visit the legendary Wat Si Chum to see the speaking Buddha, admire the blooming red lotus at the Ancient City Park's ponds, explore the Sukhothai Historical Park, enjoy local noodle dishes, and sip coffee in leisure. [See more..]

You can ride to various beaches, attractions, restaurants, and cafes. Additionally, there is a coastal road that lets you enjoy the scenery and breeze while riding. Be cautious and prioritize safety! [See more..]
