Motorbike Hire Bangkok
The best way to get around Thailand is definitely by motorbike. It’s cheap, fun and easy. If you don't have one yet, now is the time to buy yourself a bike before prices go through the roof.
Thailand is a great place to ride a motorbike because it is very safe and traffic is light compared to many countries. There are plenty of places to stop along the road where you can eat and drink while riding. The roads are well maintained and often smooth and straight. Most people drive fast but they are not reckless drivers.
You should expect to pay about US$10 per day for renting a motorbike in Thailand. A good rule of thumb is to spend half of what you would normally pay at home for similar services. That being said, some things are cheaper than others. For instance, petrol costs less here than in Europe. So, if you plan on staying longer than a week, it might make sense to save money by buying fuel locally.
Renting a scooter is much easier than a full-sized motorcycle. Scooters are smaller and therefore require less space. They are usually cheaper and faster than larger bikes. But, they lack power and stability. They are not recommended for long trips unless you like to fall over.
A bigger problem is that scooters are illegal to use on public streets. You must either hire them from a company or find a private parking lot. In fact, even though it is legal to own a motorbike in Thailand, you cannot take it onto any street without permission.
