Motor Bike Riding on Koh Larn
Cost is 200 to 300 Baht per day this includes fuel

Motorbike riding is something I’ve personally had a lot of experience with—and it’s something I never seem to get tired of. Here in Thailand, motorbikes are one of the main ways people get around, and on Koh Larn they’re just about perfect. The roads are narrow, and a smaller ride simply makes more sense.

For me, it’s also incredibly efficient. I use very little fuel compared to what I was used to back in the U.S.—just a couple of liters a week.

Motorbike rentals are easy to find all over the island. The bikes are generally newer models and well maintained for both comfort and safety. Most are automatic or semi-automatic, so there’s no need to worry about shifting gears.

Rental prices are very reasonable—usually around 200 Baht for the day. Each rental typically comes with a map, and you’ll also find plenty of road signs in English to help guide you.

And if you do happen to take a wrong turn, no problem—the island is small, and you’ll quickly find your way again.

For exploring Koh Larn, a motorbike really is one of the best ways to experience it.

I’d like to share a few simple safety tips—even for experienced riders (myself included).

When riding around the island, try to keep your eyes on the road. It sounds obvious, but it’s easy to get distracted by the views, and before you know it, the road has curved or dipped.

There’s plenty of time to pull over, take it all in, and then continue on your way.

There are no traffic lights here—and not even a stop sign—so just take a little extra care at intersections.

And when you’re riding through the village, please go slow. There are often children playing nearby.

Sometimes the best way to explore is to park the bike and take a walk—you’ll see much more that way.
