Phuket is the perfect playground for adventure bikes - with smooth coastal highways, winding mountain roads, and the occasional gravel or jungle track all in one day.

For lightweight exploring and easy handling, bikes like the Honda CRF300L are ideal. They’re nimble in traffic, comfortable on backroads, and capable when the pavement ends.

If you want a true all-rounder for mixed road touring, mid-size adventure bikes like the Honda NX500 and Honda Transalp 750 or Yamaha Tenere 700 offer the perfect balance of power, comfort, and off-road ability - ideal for riding beyond Phuket and exploring Southern Thailand.

For longer touring with luggage and maximum comfort, larger bikes such as the Honda Africa Twin shine on highways while still handling rougher terrain with confidence.

In short:
Phuket roads call for versatile, comfortable adventure bikes - and the best choice depends on how far and how wild you want to go.

Yes! The Yamaha Tenere 700 is an excellent bike for touring in Thailand. It strikes a great balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability, making it ideal for long coastal highways, winding mountain passes, and rougher rural backroads alike. Its efficient engine and generous fuel range mean fewer stops between fuel stations, and its rugged suspension and wheels handle gravel and uneven surfaces with confidence. While it’s not as plush as some larger touring bikes, its versatility, reliability, and overall performance make it one of the best choices for both local adventures around Phuket and extended road trips through Thailand.

To legally ride a big bike in Thailand, you’ll need the following:

1. Valid Motorcycle Licence

You must hold a full motorcycle licence from your home country. A car licence alone is not sufficient.

2. International Driving Permit (IDP)

Tourists are required to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside their home licence.
It must specifically cover the motorcycle category (A).

Without an IDP, police fines are common and your insurance may be invalid in the event of an accident.

3. Passport (Copy Recommended)

You should carry your passport, or at minimum a clear photo or copy of it, as police checkpoints are common.

4. Rental Agreement

Always keep a copy or photo of your rental contract when riding.

Important Notes

Helmets are legally required for both rider and passenger.
If you are staying long-term, you can apply for a Thai motorcycle licence.
Insurance coverage may be void if you do not have the correct licence category.

Yes - we absolutely allow our big bikes to be taken outside Phuket for touring around Thailand. Many of our customers ride to places like Khao Lak, Khao Sok, Krabi, Surat Thani, and even further north on longer trips.

However, it’s worth noting that some rental companies do not allow their bikes to leave Phuket province, often due to insurance restrictions or internal policies. That’s why it’s always important to check before booking.

With us, you can take our big bikes outside Phuket, including longer road trips and multi-day tours around Thailand. We just ask that you let us know your planned route in advance so we can prepare the bike properly (luggage setup, phone mount, insurance info, etc.).

Yes - we offer delivery and collection across all of Phuket. This includes Phuket International Airport, hotels, villas, and private addresses anywhere on the island.

We make the process simple and convenient so your big bike is ready where you need it, whether you’re starting your trip straight from the airport or from your accommodation. Just let us know your location and preferred time, and we’ll arrange the rest.
