krabi local Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Most places charge 3 k for a month. Try Ao Nang rather than Krabi town.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazRod Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just pay it and enjoy Thailand or buy a motorbike. Of course they will try to take advantage of you. You can either use your head, be smart and enjoy yourself or anger the locals and wake up dead. Your choice. Every country tries to screw the tourists. Keep a low profile, keep your mouth shut, smile and pay whatever it is. Or walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Every country tries to screw the tourist" Then why is it only 2000 Bt. in Pattaya......if it is 5000Bt. in Krabi No tourists in Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Was in Banchang yesterday...noticed an oil massage is 400 Bt (same as many places around the country)....while in many places in Pattaya you can get it for 200 Bt.....that's an even bigger increase. I was wondering why this could be so and the thought crossed my mind that it must be higher rents or something. Then I thought, ..hang on, ...rents in Banchang could hardly be higher than in a heavy tourist area like Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again in Ban Chang it depends where you are. The last time I had an oil massage there, there was oil in my beer and my cigarettes got soaked in the stuff sitting at the bar................

I asked other Brits; one said because you push the bike to get it started, another said because you push down on the pedals. Either makes sense to me.

It's called a push bike because after hours in the pub they can't ride it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaZa9 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I would hazard a guess that a scooter hired out in Krabi Town would usually do a lot more kms than one in a city like Pats. Its 19km between KT and the most popular beach at Ao Nang and costs about 500 baht in a taxi. So there and back in a day would cost a thousand baht in a taxi , and if you hired a scoot you would only pay 160 baht for the day. Bargain. Look at the competition - in Pats you have baht bus at what 20 baht ? In Krabi or Phuket you have taxis at a Minimum of 100 baht for even 200 metres. Attractions in Krabi like The Emerald Pools , the Tiger Temple , Klong Thom Springs are all a fair way out . The scooters there would do some serious kilometres...
