Jet Ski Rentals on Koh Larn

Jet Ski Rentals on Koh Larn
Cost is 1,000 Baht per 30 minutes

When you think of jet skis, you might picture small boats, but trust me, these are anything but ordinary. I prefer to think of them as rockets on water—sophisticated machines that pack a surprising punch. Once you hit the open water and throttle up, you'll be amazed at their speed. It does take a few minutes to get accustomed to the steering, so take it easy at first.

Keep two important things in mind: first, there are no brakes, so you'll need to plan your maneuvers ahead of time. Second, jet skis only steer when they're powered on—without power, they’ll just continue on their last course, no matter how much you try to steer.

When renting a jet ski, you'll need to sign a liability contract, which is straightforward. Essentially, if you sink it, you’re responsible for purchasing a waterlogged jet ski. While I haven't heard of any major incidents, it's important to exercise good judgment while riding.

Exploring the island on a jet ski is an incredible experience. Enjoy the adventure!

Jet Ski Scams

In recent times there has been talk of unscrupulous Jet Ski operators scamming tourist. The scam consist of the tourist renting a jet ski, upon return of the jet ski the operator will claim the tourist has damaged the Jet Ski and will demand money for repairs. What the tourist doesn't know is that the damage was there all along. Although in 20 years, I personally have never heard of any such incidents happening on Koh Larn that said I think it could happen. So before you rent any vehicle in Thailand It would be a good idea to take some snap shots. It only takes a few moments and it could save you alot of money. If you do damage a jet ski you would be expected to pay for repairs.
