Rider's Corner

Scooters and city bikes, larger road motorcycles and Honda CRF dirt bikes are available to rent; date-specific availability is checked when booking.

A 2025 Yamaha PG-1 with front ABS is listed.

The team can match trail recommendations to your riding experience. Lower-seat CB500F options are offered for shorter riders.

The fleet includes 2025 and 2026 models alongside lower-priced older CB500Xs with stated brake-pad and tyre upkeep.

Ordinary rentals are for northern Thailand; non-CRF bikes must stay on paved roads. Discuss travel beyond the support area north of Tak and west of Loei in advance. Scooters may use the Pai and Mae Hong Son loops, but not the summits of Doi Inthanon or Doi Ang Khang; lower Doi Inthanon is allowed. Laos trips require advance arrangements: CB500X, CRF300, CRF250 Rally and CRF250 are listed as border-authorised, with at least one week for paperwork.

Honda CRFs may be used on dirt trails. Taking another rental bike onto dirt trails forfeits the deposit.

Uploading your home-country motorcycle licence and IDP before pickup is optional. Uploads are stored privately and used only to verify the booking.

Every renter must show a valid home-country motorcycle licence covering the rented bike; UK/EU AM moped licences do not qualify for these scooters. An IDP is recommended. Scooter renters must be at least 18; there is no upper age limit.

Online booking requires an advance payment through Stripe before processing, followed by email confirmation. Scooter bookings offer immediate confirmation after payment. Book well ahead in high season to secure your preferred bike.

Contact the rental team on WhatsApp at +66 89 097 4954 or +66 93 136 2299, or email [email protected].

Walk-in rentals are available, but advance booking is essential in high season for your preferred bike.

Laos rentals add 50% to the rental rate and THB 750 per motorcycle for paperwork. Optional extras are charged per motorcycle and apply to every bike in an online booking. A paid callout applies if a scooter key fob is locked under the seat.

Daily prices and public weekly and monthly calculation rules are available. A rental week is 7 days and a rental month is 28 days; where no discounted block is listed, daily pricing applies for that duration.

Ordinary Thailand security deposits depend on the model: THB 2,000–8,000 for scooters/city bikes, THB 5,000–10,000 for road bikes and THB 8,000 for CRFs. Laos rentals instead require THB 50,000 cash per motorcycle.

A cash security deposit lets you keep your passport. Ordinary scooter, NX500 and CRF300 rentals also offer a passport-deposit alternative; Laos deposits are cash only.

The refundable security deposit is held at pickup and returned after the bike comes back undamaged. Unannounced travel outside northern Thailand can lead to deposit forfeiture; using a non-CRF on dirt trails forfeits it.

Cash is accepted for the security deposit; for Laos rentals, the THB 50,000 per-motorcycle security deposit must be paid in cash.

CB500X online advance rental payments offer bank card or PromptPay QR; the remaining rental balance is due at pickup.

Selected scooters and the GB350C have discounted 7-day and 28-day rates. Discount terms for the Monkey 125, ADV350, NX500 and CRFs conflict: long-term savings are advertised, but their rate tables use daily pricing. Confirm any discount for those bikes before booking.

Tell the team your scooter itinerary before departure; they will fit a fresh tyre or service the bike if needed.

Photograph or video existing damage before leaving and send the record to the rental team on WhatsApp.

Bikes are regularly serviced, with brake maintenance performed in-house.

Compulsory Por Ror Bor medical cover is included. No additional insurance or damage waiver is offered; damage to the rental bike remains your responsibility.

Rider helmets are free, with a second helmet for a passenger on request. Full-face or motocross helmets are provided for dirt-bike rentals.

Riding jackets are available for THB 100 per day, subject to availability. Dirt-bike rentals also list included riding gear subject to availability; this does not make the separately priced jacket free.

A basic phone mount is included on every bike at no extra hire charge.

Larger bikes come with a top box or tail bag. NX500, Transalp, NC750X, Himalayan 450 and Versys listings specifically include a top box.

Side boxes or bags cost THB 100 per day. NX500 bookings offer hard side panniers or waterproof soft side panniers as separate paid options.

Included Por Ror Bor medical cover extends to people involved in a collision. The stated driver limits are THB 30,000, or THB 80,000 when not at fault; vehicle damage is excluded. Claims require a police report and immediate hospital treatment.

A paid callout can open a scooter seat if its key fob has been locked underneath.

For serious mechanical problems, call Ian on +66 61 650 6991 or Khun U on +66 90 260 2770; the team will work with you to continue the trip during support hours, 08:00–20:00 daily.

Renters pay for new damage regardless of fault. Charges use the actual cost of parts plus a reasonable labour rate.

If the motorcycle is stolen, file a police report immediately and contact Rider’s Corner for the next steps.

The team can help negotiate damage compensation with another driver who caused a collision.

Return the bike at the same time of day as collection; a scooter rental day is 24 hours.

Domestic support is available 08:00–20:00 daily north of Tak and west of Loei. Travel beyond that area needs prior discussion. For specially arranged Laos rentals, you are responsible for resolving mechanical problems yourself.

A passenger helmet is free on request. For two-up hill trips, larger scooters or motorcycles are recommended; included medical cover applies to both rider and passenger.

Free route advice is available, with road-touring maps and dirt-trail guides. Dirt-route planning includes GPX downloads and recommendations matched to experience.

Pickup is at Sri Phum Corner, 357 Moon Mueang Road, Mueang Chiang Mai 50200.

Bike collection, return and rental support operate daily from 08:00 to 20:00.

Bikes leave with a full tank. Fuel is at your expense; return the bike with the same fuel level as collected.

The on-site café and riders’ hub has bike parking, Wi-Fi and outdoor seating.
