    Note: Some places will ask to hold your passport when renting a bike. They usually require 1 passport per bike. Always have a photo copy of your passport and try to offer that instead (if you can). The passport is used as collateral should something happen to the bike. Some rental agencies will accept a large amount of money instead of the passport (amount determined at location). We’ve left one of our passports many times and never had it lost/stolen. Always go with your gut instinct and leave it at your own risk.

    Dear All, I had to close this shop because of Covid, reopened now in a new location (much smaller, have to start from zero) near the South Gate directly opposite of the Airniversary Cafe. Hope to see you one day, Nung M25

      Hi, thanks for informing where you moved - will be visiting you shortly. A question - do you know if it is allowed to drive 3 people (me, my wife and our 2 year old daughter) on a scooter or motorcycle?

      Hi Nung , I wish to hire a bike to travel for 30 days around Thailand . Can I take this bike over border into Laos ?

    • @M25ChiangMai
      @M25ChiangMai 2 роки тому +2

      @@Buzzhumma Hi there! In short, not with a hired bike, but you can buy one and get the paperwork. Must say I haven’t done it before, and don’t know anyone who did, only heard about the general possibility, like an urban myth type. May be an adventure worth doing, or not 😅 . In any case, good luck!

    All helmets have expiry dates as the internal stuff dissolves after expiry date so please make sure that the production date is not later than 5 years and make sure that it is not broken or has a crack as it can kill you, instead of saving your life.

    You guys make great videos. Like, wow. I'm exceptionally particular (occupational hazard). Leaving in seven days for a 32 day trip and now I know without a current motorcycle cert I probably shouldn't get a bike even though I have an IDP. Extremely helpful!

    From what I've seen in SE Asia, price-points usually go Automatic, Semi Automatic, And Manual, Some countries the semi would be cheaper, others have the automatic for cheaper. All in all just be safe out there folks I've seen wayyy to many people get hurt on bikes in SE Asia!

    Look, for those who had accidents, did you even have a motorbike licence in the first instance. It's not like riding a bicycle...

    Laws aside, its worth getting a motorbike licence before trying overseas for one simple reason. There's a real sense of achievement knowing that you can ride...

    All an Int Drivers Permit is, is your licence info translated into ten different languages so law enforcement can read it. It is valid in 150 countries. But it is just a translation, not permission to drive. It is only valid for 12 months or when your home licence expires- whichever comes first. It is not valid in your home country. It will not be issued for any category of vehicle which is not at present covered by your driving licence. If you don't have a moto licence in your home province state/jurisdiction, you do not have one in Thailand or anywhere else that requires one. Apply for your IDP at a government agency or authorised auto club RAC/gov,uk/CAA/AAA only. Watch for the scams out there offering an IDP with other bundled services that you don't need but they want $200. or more. Here in Canada an IDP is $25.00 USA is I think $20.

      To get idp for motorbike or scooter rental, my license has to be class m1 or class m2 correct? Just class c license wouldn’t work?

    Never seen a decent helmet in Thailand rentals. At least in touristy places. And they are useless. Almost the same as wearing cap and nothing more. But you need because of police. 🤷🏻‍♂️
