Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to join?
To ride your own scooter, yes — a valid motorcycle licence from your home country plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) with the motorcycle category. If you don’t have one, book the pillion option and sit behind one of our experienced drivers instead.
I’ve never ridden in Thailand. Is it safe?
We keep the group small (max 6 bikes), start with a briefing and a practice loop, and ride at a relaxed pace on quieter coastal roads. Your guide leads the way and sets the speed. Helmets and accident insurance are included on every tour.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain usually passes quickly in Phuket and we simply wait it out at a stop. In heavy rain we’ll offer you a free reschedule or a full refund — your choice.
Where do we meet?
At our shop near Chalong Circle (the 5-way intersection). It’s easy to reach by Grab or taxi from Kata, Karon, Rawai and Phuket Town — message us on WhatsApp and we’ll send you the pin.
