Scooter Rentals

It was the motorbike hire shop that gave me the most problems. The motorbike I hired broke down, no compensation for either the lost time nor the money I spent getting home with the bike. The shop, surprise, was owned and operated by two British men and their Thai wives. When I argued the point with them after asking for compensation, they told me the truth. 'Look mate you are in Thailand, and I don't know how its done where you come from, but we don't give refunds here.' This was the worst experience that I had in Chiang Mai, perpetrated by a westerner. I saw this in another post does any body know a good place to rent a scooter for a few months?
