Villas, a beach with no sun loungers and the best sunsets in the north-west. Our point in Bang Tao is 7 minutes away: free delivery within an hour, bike swap in 15–30 minutes.
Surin is the expensive, quiet stretch of the west coast. A couple of beach clubs sit right on the water; the villas sit back from it, up the slopes and behind gates, with greenery in between. There is no centre as such and no row of shops to wander along. People choose Surin for the calm, then find the calm comes with distance built into every part of the day. It is a district people take for a season, not for a long weekend.
Everything you need in Surin is close by, and none of it is walkable. The beach is a ride. The shops are a ride. The main road carries fast traffic with little shoulder, and villa driveways meet it on a slope, so pulling out takes a moment's patience. Once you are doing that four or five times a day, the bike stops being a holiday extra and becomes how the household runs.
Honda ADV160, from 330 ฿ a day, suits this pattern. The tall seat gives you a view over the traffic and clears the humps at the villa gates, the brakes stay predictable on a wet main road, and there is room for the shopping instead of holding it on your knees. It has the engine for a longer day north to Nai Thon when you feel like one. Tell us the villa name and the gate — it is with you in 15–30 minutes, helmet included.
Surin is Phuket’s “millionaires’ mile”: villas and designer condos in the greenery, a beach without a single sun lounger (it kept its natural status after the renovation) and a crowd that came to live, not to party. Cherng Talay is the large village behind Surin and Bang Tao where half the north-west’s long-stayers settle.
The transport quirk of the area: everything you need is 5–10 minutes away, but not on foot. The villas sit inland from the sea, so you ride to the beach, and to Boat Avenue, Porto de Phuket and the Villa Market and Lotus supermarkets too. Grab takes 20–30 minutes to get here. A scooter here isn’t an option, it’s the basic infrastructure of daily life.
For us Surin is home turf: our point in Bang Tao is 5–7 minutes away. That means delivery within an hour, a bike swap in 15–30 minutes for any problem, and free servicing with no need to go anywhere — we come to you. Models for the area range from city scooters to the ADV160 and XMAX for trips across the whole island.
Real riding times — the north-west of the island is compact.
Honda PCX 160 / Yamaha NMAX — the area standard: every day beach — cafe — Boat Avenue, smooth ride and storage. 400 ฿/day, month — 5,500 ฿.
Honda ADV160 2026 — for day trips: Nai Thon, the elephant sanctuary, airport runs to meet guests. Tall riding position and ABS.
Yamaha XMAX — the family flagship for a long stay: comfortable for two all day, two helmets under the seat, any corner of the island without fatigue.
Delivery across Surin and Cherng Talay is free and fast — the base is nearby. Helmets and a phone holder are included. The bike carries compulsory Por Ror Bor with limited statutory bodily-injury cover; it does not cover damage to the bike.

Yes, Surin and Cherng Talay are our home turf: our point in Bang Tao is 5–7 minutes from you. Delivery is free to your villa, condo or hotel, usually within an hour of confirmation.
Faster than anywhere on the island: the base is nearby, we’ll bring a replacement bike within 15–30 minutes. That’s the main advantage of renting in your own area — you’re never left without wheels, not even for half a day.
Experience says yes. The villas of Cherng Talay sit inland from the sea: 5–10 minutes’ ride to the beach, the same to Boat Avenue and the supermarkets, and Grab takes 20–30 minutes to reach you. A scooter at 5,000–7,500 ฿ a month costs less than three taxi rides a day.
There’s a municipal car park by the main entrance (next to the football field) — bikes park for free. There are no sun loungers at Surin — bring a towel and come for sunset: it’s one of the best sunset beaches on the island.
Laem Sing cove (5 minutes), the beach-club Bang Tao with Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket (7 minutes), quiet Nai Thon (20 minutes) and Kamala with Fantasea (10 minutes). In half a day you cover the whole north-west coast.
Yes. To ride a motorbike in Thailand you need an international driving permit with category A. Without it the fine at a police checkpoint is usually 500 ฿ to 1,000 ฿, and the insurance will not pay after an accident.
No. We take a cash deposit of 2,500 ฿ to 5,000 ฿ only and never keep your passport — it stays with you for the whole rental.
From 3,500 ฿ for a Yamaha Fino 125 — that is 117 ฿ a day — up to 15,000 ฿ for a Yamaha XMAX 2026. A Honda ADV160 2026 for a month is 7,500 ฿, or 250 ฿ a day.
Routine servicing and a replacement scooter if something breaks are included in the monthly price — 0 ฿ extra.
The price drops in five steps: 1–3 days, 3–6 days, 7–11 days, 12–17 days and 18–23 days. A Yamaha Fino 125 costs 250 ฿ a day on a short rental and 150 ฿ a day from 18 days.
The lowest daily rate in the fleet is the Yamaha Fino 125 from 18 days: 150 ฿ a day. The Yamaha Grand Filano 125 costs 250 ฿ a day for 18–23 days against 300 ฿ on the first three days.
We work like a scooter supermarket: 10 models from 150 ฿ to 800 ฿ a day. The budget end is the Yamaha Grand Filano 125 from 150 ฿ a day and the Yamaha Fino 125 from 150 ฿ a day on a long rental.
The premium end is the Yamaha XMAX 2026 from 500 ฿ a day and the Honda ADV160 2026 from 300 ฿ a day on a long rental. There is a model for every wallet.
