Transport on Koh Tao

Walking during the tropical heat is poorly tolerated by residents of northern latitudes. Even on a small island you have to use transport. The simplest solution is to call a taxi, but this hits hard on the pockets of vacationers. Much cheaper than renting a bike. Rent will cost from 200 baht per day.

If you decide on a personal vehicle, remember that there are a lot of scammers in the field of motorcycle and car rental on the island.

Travelers visiting Thailand not for the first time are advised to first take a picture of the rented vehicle from all angles and carefully read the documents for it. Any damage you didn't notice will be attributed to the last person to sign the contract. The presence of photographs and witnesses will give you the opportunity to contact the police. Even if it is not possible to solve the problem completely, the amount of payments will decrease significantly.

The delivery of tourists to places of rest by water transport is widespread. The boat fare is small, but such a taxi will bring you to any chosen beach.

ATV rental is open on the island, but this direction is not popular among vacationers. Two factors scare away - high (800 baht per day) rental cost and poor quality of roads. There is a risk of walking half of the planned path on foot, which is at least a shame when renting expensive equipment.

However, if your goal is to explore the most hidden corners of the island, an ATV is for you. The terrain is replete with steep ascents and descents, which a low-powered motorbike simply cannot overcome.

Vehicle rental

Auto is not popular on the island - it is often an inconvenient and unsafe mode of transport. Two-wheeled vehicles are much more comfortable and reliable in uneven terrain.

Even on a small island it is impossible to constantly move on foot. Therefore, local residents have perfectly arranged bike rental. Compact transport will cost from 200 to 300 baht (no more than 700 rubles) per day of use.

Follow the safety rules when driving - the combination of ups and downs can play a cruel joke even with an experienced driver.
