Advice On Renting Motorbike On Monthly Basis?

[stevenhb]

Greetings all,

Could anyone recommend a good place to rent a motorbike on a monthly basis, without being ripped off? I live in Patong but will probably have to rent from outside of Patong for a better price.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Phuket Town. Around 3k per month for a new auto Click. 2-3k for a manual Wave. They will want a photocopy of your passport and money upfront. No deposit required.

The first thing I used to do when hiring a bike for a month or more was take it the nearest mechanic shop and get him to do a quick service. Oil. plug, filter etc. Costs a couple of hundred baht but gives you piece of mind. The majority of rental places rarely touch the bike till it stops working.

Try Happy Days in Pier Rd, Chalong. The usual - copy of passport, $$$ up front.

I agree Phuket town is the place for me.

At least it was until I bought one.

I befriended a good, honest Thai man there named Chai who works the corner right across the street from the Imperial Hotel (near the old clock tower near the center of town)

I believe his bikes are around 3k baht.

OP - You could also consider buying a second hand for 15 000 and then sell it when you are leaving.
