Where can I rent a motorbike in Pattaya?
I'm going to Pattaya at the end of March. I would be grateful for recommendations on where to rent a motorbike, how much it will cost and on what conditions it is rented.

on every corner.
But it's better not to. They often fight, I personally saw 2 cases in 2 weeks. There is no insurance, they steal, they ask for a passport as collateral.

everywhere, but everywhere the price is different. On the central streets more expensive, about 300 baht per day. It is cheaper on remote streets, about 200 baht per day. They require a passport and a deposit of 1000 baht. If you book for a week, the price is lower, for a month even lower. The probability of theft is about 0.01%. The probability that you will break up depends on you and no one else. They drive not very correctly, you should always remember this and be very careful. Then everything will be ok. There are about a million motorbikes in Pattaya and the fact that an average of 10 accidents with their participation per week means that the probability of an accident is not very high.

by the way, they don’t ask for a passport as a pledge, they just need it to draw up a lease agreement, then they give the passport back. You can even give not a passport, but a copy of it. The deposit remains 1000 baht.

We were in Pattaya in November 2009, on an excursion to Kwai we talked with guys from Vladivostok, they rented a motorbike, one of them crashed into a pole, according to him they cut it incorrectly, gave decent money. Those. the moment of risk, in my opinion, is quite large, but also the freedom of movement ... plus you need to take into account the peculiarities of the movement (as in Japan), do not forget, otherwise you will proudly taxi into the oncoming lane. Good luck!

Bike for rent - like a cafe on every corner. You can take 100 baht per day. But I do not recommend it, because. movement is left-handed. Although if you have a good experience of driving a bike, you can. And yet, think about whether it is worth spoiling your vacation ... abrasions, bruises, etc. ...

Don't scare the person! I personally took the bike and did not experience any problems with either the "wrong" movement or the "cutting". The usual urban traffic mode, everyone drives chaotically, rebuilds, etc. If you drive carefully and carefully - no problem. But you will get freedom of movement and independence from tuk-tuks, etc.
P.S. And you can rent a bike at any corner

tourists crash extremely rarely, tk. drive carefully through the unfamiliarity of left-hand traffic. Thais often crash, who are no longer afraid of anything, and drunken farangs, who don’t care about anything, even left-hand traffic. Tourists that I receive in Pattaya, 70% rent a bike. So far, there have been no incidents.

Yes, almost all streets are one-way.
here is the question - how to protect yourself from theft of a rented bike? Fasten it with a chain, or will it not be touched?

Rarely, but they steal, the farang said, they stole from his Thai father-in-law. They already paid out the insurance and bought a new one, as soon as the old one was found, he was very happy - he probably got used to the old one.
See that there is insurance, and not a fake document xeroxed.

if the bike that you rent is stolen, then you simply lose the deposit that you paid for it. This is usually 1000 baht. The rest is the problem of the person who gave you the bike for rent.

Anatoly, you don’t need to shag your grandmother :) The network is full of information, google it: - rent a motorbike.
If the bike is stolen and it is not insured, then 100% that you will pay the cost of the bike specified in the contract, minus 1000 baht of the deposit, and many other nuances - for some reason my links have been lost (

and why should I ask Google about something I'm constantly involved in? This is also about the flood so they wrote. I say that there is no water on the roads, but they write to me: what are you talking about? Do you watch TV? :) For some reason, I didn't have to look out the window, but into the TV to find out about the weather :))))))))))))))))

I don't recommend cycling either. Although I used to have a different opinion. But after an accident involving my wife and accidents that I see every day, and a girl who recently had an operation because of this (tin), and my tourist, who had a very dense program (I did not think that he would wander into head to take the bike), but he managed to take the bike off for one hour and crashed, now I also highly recommend not doing this. To ride a bike here, you need to know the driving mentality and its features. Yes, my wife and I go, but what did it cost us. I have 2 resuscitations, she has 2 weeks of terrible pain. Why are you on vacation?

If you are accustomed to left-hand traffic and have driving experience, then you can try.
There is always a risk, and if you have experience, then the risk comes from outside, that is, from other road users.
I was hit in the side by a taxi driver on the Thai New Year, April 14, he was under something intoxicating, because he did not immediately get out of the car to talk to me. And I was saved by a small speed and a helmet. However, a bruise from the bumper at the base of the leg and a little bit of the base of the palm was erased.
The biggest problem is inexperienced foreigners driving. Thais are afraid of them like fire. And I advise you to beware of them and pizza delivery men, they are still Schumachers.
Don't skimp on the roads.
The entire version of my adventure with all the proceedings can be read on my website at this link http://minisiam.ru/publ/thaistory/istorii_byvalykh/novogodnie_prikljuchenija_v_pattaje/20-1 -0-80

bikes are rented from 150-400 baht depending on the power and the tourist season =)
I’ll tell you a secret, all motorbikes are insured, you just need to be extremely friendly and honest and then you won’t be billed for 15,000 baht for a scratch, but will be limited to withholding 200-300 baht from a deposit, which is usually 1000-2000 baht.
Sports bikes and choppers from 600 and above, there the deposit can be 2000-4000 baht.
With the last category of transport, you need to be very careful, since the parts on them are not cheap, there is more red tape with insurance, and as a result, the Thais are fined for scratches and breakages. But in case of some kind of breakdown, you can drive the bike to one of the many motorcycle services and assess the degree of breakdown there. They'll put in a couple of thousand. The main thing is to follow the rules of Thai etiquette in such conflict moments and everything will be fine.

Alas, the statistics are inexorable - there are much more tourists "taking pictures" with bikes in Thailand than those eaten by sharks in Egypt. And as always, according to the law of the genre: - not a single Thai understands Russian, the consul KhZ is wandering around, there is no money, and his wife is pregnant. Only about the cerebral edema he was clearly flattered (
