Motor bike taxis at the pier waiting to take visitors to the beaches. I call this the gauntlet, try not to be intimidated, they are here for your service. I know most of these guys, and they all live on the island. Some of these guys are third and fourth generation residents here on the island, so they know the island very well. The fares these guys charge are as reasonable as it gets. They all carry a tourist map with the fares marked on it, they won't bargain here with the fares they all charge the same. The fares are for each person, some folks believe that if they fit two passengers on one bike they get a discount, not so, you pay for each person. Otherwise some would try to fit five or so on one bike to get the discount. I my self have had four persons and a dog on my bike, anything is possible here.

   This mode of transportation is the same as the baht bus, or this can be called a song-taow, translated means two rows. These vehicles are just pickup trucks fitted with a canopy on the back and padded benches installed over the wheel wells. The fares are the same as with motor bike, a set amount for each person.    The driver to the right was joking with me earlier, I still don't know what was so funny.

Motor bike rentals, if you are the adventurous type, this is the way to fly. You come and go as you please. These are all late model bikes and all are well maintained. Do a pre-inspection with the owner before departing on your journey. A map of the island is supplied with each bike and road signs on the island should keep you from getting lost. Cost of renting one of these is around 300baht for the entire day and that includs petrol

Bringing your own motor bike to the Island was a great option in the past. Cost has gone up so much that it is cheaper to rent a motorbike on the island. If for some reason you just have to have your own motorbike the cost is 200 Baht for each way. They will not take any of the larger bikes on the regular ferry.
