Thailand is a place where the main mean of transport is a scooter. We have rented a scooter in Ao Nang for a month and this article is about our experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, when we were in Ao Nang, we were 3 adults and 3 kids. So scooter was definitely for everyday errands like going quickly to 7 Eleven, market, store or my husband would make 3 trips to take us to the beach. Only once me and my husband went to Krabi town and that was the longest trip we did with a scooter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To rent a scooter in Thailand you have to have international driver&#8217;s license- which they did not check when we rented our scooter, but I am sure it is very important for the police in case you get stopped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-35-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-35-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-35-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-35-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-35-45x60.jpeg 45w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-35-rotated.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image5-12-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image5-12-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image5-12-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image5-12-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image5-12-45x60.jpeg 45w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image5-12-rotated.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of places ask for a deposit (typically 3000 THB) and a copy of your passport  or keep your passport if you do not want to leave a deposit (leaving a deposit is way better than leaving a passport in my opinion). And let me introduce where we rented our scooter &#8211; Mr Sak (google location here- <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/wFpUG8cvczyKGqj88\">Mr Sak Motorbike Rental<\/a> ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We loved the experience, and here is why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>it was the cheapest price we actually found and we checked in 5 different rental companies. Monthly rental would start at 5500 THB and go to 8000 THB. We found this little gem a little bit away from the main crowd and the rentals for a month start at just 3500 THB (you have to leave 3000 THB deposit and a copy of your passport &#8211; the deposit was given to us back at the time of the scooter return). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when I found it on the map, I sent a message via Whatsapp  and got all the information within 5 minutes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>he rental place brought the scooter to the beach (talk about excellent customer service), we signed the paperwork right there at the parking place, they gave us 2 helmets and that was it- simple, easy, quick and efficient. Did I mention &#8211; easy? Fantastic! Just what we were looking for! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Look no  further and rent at this place &#8211; the scooter that we rented was brand new. The service &#8211; superb! Price &#8211; fantastic! Could not recommend them more!
