Baht buses are located near the Wat that is about a 100 meters from the main pier in the village. As you walk away from the ferry boat you will come to a T crossing when you get there turn left and follow the small street until you get to where they park the baht busses. When you get there just ask for the baht bus going to the beach you want. They usually wait for their baht bus to fill before leaving which often doesn’t take very long. At the beaches there are almost always a few on standby to take you where you want to go.
Motorbike taxis at the pier waiting to take visitors to the beaches. I call this the gauntlet, try not to be intimidated, they are here for your service. I know most of these guys, and they all live on the island. Some of these guys are third and fourth generation residents here on the island, so they know the island very well. The fares these guys charge are as reasonable as it gets. They all carry a tourist map with the fares marked on it, they won't bargain here with the fares they all charge the same. The fares are for each person, some folks believe that if they fit two passengers on one bike they get a discount, not so, you pay for each person. Otherwise some would try to fit five or so on one bike to get the discount. I my self have had four persons and a dog on my bike, anything is possible here.
Motorbike Taxis will also take you on a tour of the island for about 400B, there is no set price. They will take you to all of the beaches for a quick look then you decide which one you like the best.

Motorbike rentals, on Koh Larn. If you are the adventurous type, this is the way to go. You come and go as you please go anywhere you want. These are all late model bikes and all are well maintained. Do a pre-inspection with the owner and you can take a few snapshots if you like before departing on your journey. I have rented motorbike on Koh Larn many times and have never had any problem at all. There are many road signs on the island should keep you from getting too lost. Be careful while riding around it can be easy to be taken in by the scenery and get into an accident, it is best to stop and look around. Cost of renting one of these for the entire day is 200baht to 300baht in the main village. Prices can vary by vendor.
Watch a video about renting a motorbike on Koh Larn. This YouTuber explaines things very clearly he also points out the many benefits of having your own transportation on Koh Larn. There are several Koh Larn related videos on this channel be sure to watch those as well. I watch many videos about Koh Larn these are well done.
There once was a time when you could bring your motorbike over on the ferry with you, but years back they put a stop to that. Now days these electric scooters are becoming more and more popular as time goes by. This one is light enough to carry onto the ferry boat with you. These are nice because you can ride them all the way to the ferry and go most places on the Island.
The scooters with small hard wheels may be a bit bumpy because the roads on Koh Larn are paved with brick pavers.
This way of getting around on Koh Larn is a recent addition. More comfortable than motorbike but not as agile. If you stay on the main roads you will be ok, but many roads are too steep and narrow for golf cart traffic. This is a great alternative for people that are not skilled at riding motorbike. You will liable for any damages you may cause.
Please be careful riding motorbike
As there is an ever increasing number of tourist visiting Koh Larn, there is also an ever increasing number of tourist riding around the island on motorbikes. Many of them with little or no experience riding motorbike. With the increase of people riding around the island there is a proportionately increase in the number of accidents. Another factor is the scenery, it is easy to be looking at the scenery instead of where you are going. If you see something that interest you, stop in a safe place first that way you are safer and you can have a better look.
Please be careful and most of all enjoy Koh Larn.
