Real estate agent (and previous owner) omit to tell one little detail, liable for damages ?

Hi all,

I am hoping to return to Chiang Mai in November this year.

I would really like to ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Is there anywhere in Chiang Mai that rent out automatic scooters over 125cc such as the Honda Forza 250cc?

Would also like to engage the services of a guide to accompany me to Chiang Rai, see some sights, stay overnight, some more sight seeing and then ride back to Chiang Mai.

I know the dangers involved but I did a scooter tour with a gentleman called Joy when I was in Chiang Mai the last time and it was really good fun. Have emailed him but he has quoted me 9000 bahts for taking me in a car, overnight stay, signts and meals which I thought was a bit pricey.

My other plan is take the VIP bus from Chiang Mai and hire a guide in Chiang Rai who could then accompany me on scooter and check out the sights. I did email a guide called Jermsak but he said he was not comfortable in riding a scooter to the Golden Triangle.

Any ideas?
