First of all read my detailed general post about bike rental in Thailand, there are all the nuances. And about the rights, and about how and what to rent, and about how to drive a bike. Here is just a little information about Pattaya. In fact, there is no problem to rent a bike, rental offices are found at every step. And if you are not asked for a passport as a deposit, then, in principle, you can take it everywhere. Usually divorces are found on Phangan and Tao, I will talk about this separately also wrote, read to stay informed.
Several proven offices in Pattaya
- At Botani Beach Hotel (Jomtien)
- On Bu Kao street in the center
- Jomtien Complex Condotel
- On Beach Road near Royal Garden Plaza
- At the intersection of Teprazit and Tappraya streets, next to the Food Mart
- On Teprazit Street - towards Sukhumvit Highway, opposite a gas station, on the other side of the street, there are motorcycles with signs hanging «Rent» and «Sale», first of all, it is a repair workshop and only in the second rental.
- On Soi Naklua 12. This street leads to the Temple of Truth, halfway there are several offices on both sides of the road..
As I said, there are a lot of rentals. I myself took a bike several times just somewhere near the hotel and did not look for anything on purpose. But I always take in places where they do not require a passport as a deposit and take pictures of the bike from all sides (so that the owner can see it), so that later there will be no nagging about me.
The cost of renting bikes in Pattaya
Since there are a lot of offers, it is possible to find quite cheap bikes. The average price is about the same (or still slightly lower), as in all of Thailand 200-300 baht / day for a regular scooter on the machine and 400-500 baht / day for a PCX.
The price varies from month to month, depending on your ability to find something cheap. You can rent a regular bike for 2000-2500 baht / month, or you can rent it for 3000-4000 baht. PCX, of course, is more expensive. Someone manages to find it almost for free, for example, from the owners of a rented house. By the way, a good option is to look for farangs in VKontakte groups, they usually rent their bikes for a low price. Well, and of course, there is no need to rent a bike in the Walking Street area, there will be a farang price.
Also in Pattaya you can rent a bike with a sidecar. I have not seen this anywhere else 🙂 For example, in Krabi they rent tuk-tuk, but this is a completely different matter. Thank you for sharing the info and photos with our reader..
P.S. There are no problems with renting a car in Pattaya either. But read my detailed post about car rental in Thailand, what are the options, what is better to rent in large network rentals or in small ones, what docks are needed, and how insurance works.
