Looking for bicycle in Pattaya


Recommended Posts

Sawasdee krup

 

I will be in Pattaya in a couple of days. I am going to be visiting for up to three weeks. I am looking for the use of a bicycle when I am there. When I was in Pattaya last year I could not find a rental source. I finally was able rent one from the owner of a motorcycle concession on Beach Rd (his personal bike). He mentioned that he was planning to sell the business so I am not optomistic about finding him. Any help would really be appreciated. I really enjoyed my early morning rides. Maybe rent/buy someones personal bike. I have a friend who lives in Pattaya for a reference.

if you do buy one the hotel where you stay normally have storage.

If you buy it you can make some kids day when you leave and just give him or her a bike, and they do only cost between 2/3000 baht in Big Cs first floor (or if your an American the second floor)

I would like to find a bike hire shop also. Here at home in England I often go out on my bike for a few hours, as I find it excellent excercise and you see so much more of the country.

The bikes for sale in Big C or Tops looked to be very basic without gears and not capable of any sort of speed. OK for a couple of miles in Pattaya but not really up to say a half day trip into the countryside.

Maybe there is a business opportunity here !.

We rented bikes recently from our hotel Condoms and Cabbages near Chomtien, 100 baht for 1-2 hours. The bikes were brand new mountain bikes with a bout 8,000 gears. There is a cycle path that runs for 4-5 kms near Chomtien. Naturally, this being Thailand, expect the usual obstacles -- patch washed away in storm, vendors, soi dogs, etc., but we had a blast.

So, you want to ride around Pattaya on a bicycle, eh? Make sure your affairs are in order.

 

Can I have your stereo? 2guns Better yet, just leave the keys to your flat with me or one of the other BMs; we'll divvy up everything equitably.
