I already wrote a detailed post about bike rental in Thailand. It contains all the information you need: do you need a license, bike models, how to drive, how to rent and all the other nuances. Separately, I want to lay out rental offices checked by different people, or those offices that do not require a passport. Of course, there is no such problem on Koh Samui as on Phangan or Tao, they can only dissolve if you damage the bike, but still I would not recommend leaving your passport as a deposit. Moreover, there are so many rental offices on Koh Samui that there will always be a choice, on any beach.

Verified rental cars on Koh Samui
Few verified annuities from local expats. To be honest, I myself have not personally encountered the problems of renting on Koh Samui. And finding a rental is not difficult, unless, of course, you have drilled somewhere deep. For example, we lived in Bang Po and there are very few offices there, so they beat prices, did not bargain, and sometimes wanted a passport as a deposit. But it is worth going to Maenam, Bo Phut, Chaweng and Lamai, and there the choice is already wow.
- In the Chaweng area, rental at a guesthouse owned by an Italian. He also has a pizzeria in the same area..
- On Chaweng, at the end of the oneway road, among the Nepalese
- On Chaweng, near the ring - ThaiMoto, Russian-speaking service
- Hakuna Matata on Chaweng and Lamai, they have 2 points. I took from them myself, everything went well.
- On Bang Po, in front of The Sea Hotel
- On Lamai, the ring road, across the street from Bangkok Bank, they also sell tickets for buses and boats, Tourist Information sign on the glass
- On Maenam, between 7 and 5 jays, from the sea side there are two annuities that definitely do not ask for a passport as a deposit.
- on Maenam, just before the turn to the Florist Resort Hotel, next to the stall where they sell necks and coffee, there are also washing machines in the back, and next to them under the roof there are about five bikes with a sign on them «For rent» and phone number.
- On Maenam on Walking Street near the former pier.
- On Maenam, a hundred meters to the left of the Honda showroom, there is a Bike Point, owned by a Thai named JJ
The cost of renting bikes on Koh Samui
In general, you can count on 200-300 baht / day for short-term rent, and 3000-3500 baht for a month for Honda Click 125. PCX for a month is usually rented somewhere for 6000 baht and 600 baht / day. The prices indicated are indicative, that is, they may differ, but I would not take a Click more than 250 baht / day, this is bourgeoisie, let them go through the forest.
Separately, I also wrote about car rental on Koh Samui, took several times.
