Motorbike touring around Pattaya

[keyman 1,480]

Whenever I come to Pattaya I rent a PCX 150 and ride all around town and some outer areas. More often than not I just ride around and see what I can see without any particular plan or destination. However this year I'd like to ride a bit further afield, so I'm looking for suggestions.

 

I'm firstly looking for places worth a visit that are a realistic travelling distance from Patts on the PCX and secondly, places that are a bit further afield that would require a larger bike to get to.

 

And finally, does anyone know any good biking routes where the ride is more important than the destination?

 

Many thanks, guys

Do you plan to rent the bike?

I heard there were restrictions on how far a rental is permitted to go from Pattaya.

I think the coastal areas East of Rayong and Chanthaburi would be good.

You should make a trip to Ban Chang of course. There are some scenic routes to get there and the destination is not bad either.

I believe i do have some restrictions on distance for the PCX that I rent, but I'll ask my renter how far I can go. If it's a longer ride and I need a larger bike I'll have to check with the next company i rent from.

 

Ban Chang is an option, Martin, but I'd rather go in the minibus as I can have a drink as well as enjoying the other benefits it offers!

 

Thanks for giving it some thought guys.

When I was in Patts over Christmas/New Year I went to Tropical Berts and they had a sign on the door advertising an organised bike ride out - unfortunately for me it took place 3 hours before I'd seen the sign!!

Does anyone know of any guys who organise ride outs? And again, anyone know of any good places to visit on a bike or good biking routes?

 

 

thanks guys
