Motorbike Rental in Bang Saray and Na Jomtien

Bang Saray is where the Pattaya coast stops being a resort and becomes a working fishing village again. It sits roughly 15 km south of central Pattaya along Sukhumvit, about 20 km by road, and it is the point where the long chain of Na Jomtien beaches finally ends. The bay is calm and shallow, the boats are real, the seafood restaurants stand on stilts over the water, and by eight in the evening the whole place is quiet.

Between the two lies Na Jomtien — a 10–12 km ribbon of coast south of Jomtien proper, reached from Sukhumvit by the numbered sois: Na Jomtien Soi 8 past the Pinnacle, Soi Glass House, Soi 12, Soi Than Nam Chai. This is condominium and long-stay territory: quiet, spread out, and almost impossible to live in without your own wheels. Songthaews thin out fast the further south you go, and a taxi from Bang Saray to Pattaya costs more than several days of scooter rental.

That is the whole argument for renting here. Our nearest office is in Pratumnak, on Pattaya Park Rd — about 20 minutes from Na Jomtien and 30–40 minutes from Bang Saray, depending on the Sukhumvit traffic. We are open daily 10:00–20:00, paperwork takes 10 minutes and we need only your passport: we make a copy and the original stays with you. Bang Saray sits outside the city limits, so if you want the bike delivered, agree it with the manager in advance — both the price and the possibility depend on the exact address.

Which bike to choose for Bang Saray and Na Jomtien

This is the one part of the Pattaya area where we genuinely advise against the cheapest 110cc. Everything here is measured in tens of kilometres, and most of those kilometres are on Sukhumvit, where pickups and coaches cruise at 80–90 km/h. A small engine is not dangerous in itself, but a bike that runs out of breath while you are overtaking is.

  • Honda Click 125 LED — 280 ฿/day. The sensible minimum if you are staying in Na Jomtien and only ride the coastal road and the local sois. Light, cheap, easy to park at the beach.
  • Honda PCX 150 and PCX 150 LED — 350–400 ฿/day. The best all-round choice for this stretch: a long seat, a proper windscreen and a relaxed cruise on Sukhumvit. Riding two-up to Bang Saray for dinner, this is the bike you want.
  • Honda Click 160 ABS and PCX 160 Keyless — 450–550 ฿/day. ABS is worth real money on a highway where a pickup can stop dead in front of you, and a 160 pulls away from traffic at the U-turns without drama.
  • Honda ADV 160 Keyless — 600 ฿/day. Taller suspension and more ground clearance, which matters on the broken side lanes and on the climb up towards Khao Chi Chan and Silverlake.

Every bike comes with two helmets and we stay in touch for the whole rental. Cash deposit: 2 000 ฿ up to 160cc, 5 000 ฿ for 300–350cc. Bikes are new and serviced; if one breaks we replace it.

Where to park in Bang Saray and Na Jomtien

After central Pattaya, parking here feels like a different country: there is space almost everywhere, and almost all of it is free.

  • Along the Bang Saray beach road you can park on the sea side nearly anywhere — just leave room for the pickups that reverse up to the seafood restaurants.
  • At the Bang Saray pier there is an open area used by fishermen. It is free, but do not block the ramps and the trolleys: boats are unloaded there at dawn.
  • Restaurants and beach clubs on both Bang Saray and Na Jomtien beaches have their own yards; for customers they are free.
  • In Na Jomtien, the condos have bike shelters — ask at your building's reception. Along the beach road there are marked bays; the red-and-white kerb still means no stopping.
  • Nong Nooch and Khao Chi Chan have organised paid car parks, with a small motorbike fee. Use them rather than the verge of the access road.
  • Bang Saray is quiet, which cuts both ways: at night park inside a hotel or condo yard, not on an empty street. Our city-wide guide on where to park a motorbike in Pattaya covers the rest.

Where to ride from Bang Saray

This is the best base in the whole Pattaya area for day rides — everything interesting to the south starts within half an hour.

  • Khao Chi Chan, the Buddha Mountain, and Silverlake Vineyard — 10–12 km inland, about 20 minutes. A 100-metre Buddha carved in gold outline on a cliff face, and vineyards on the way back. Roughly half an hour from central Pattaya, and far less from here.
  • Nong Nooch Tropical Garden — 8–10 km back north on Sukhumvit, 15 minutes. Come early: the coach groups arrive mid-morning.
  • Sattahip and Samae San — 15–20 km further south, 25–30 minutes. A naval town, a working port, and piers for the islands. Some areas belong to the navy and are closed or need permission, so read the signs rather than guessing.
  • The Na Jomtien coastal road back to Jomtien and Pattaya — 15–20 km, about 30 minutes if you stay off Sukhumvit. This is the nicest ride of the four: the sea on your right most of the way, and it links up with Jomtien.

More route ideas are in our article on secret routes around Pattaya.

Roads, traffic and fuel

There are two ways south and they are completely different rides. Sukhumvit (Highway 3) is fast, four lanes each way in places, with frontage service lanes on both sides. Ride in the left-hand service lane where there is one: that is where scooters belong, and it keeps you out of the way of the trucks. The real hazard is the U-turn — instead of left turns, Sukhumvit uses U-turn bays, and traffic crosses the whole carriageway to reach them. Slow down and look twice at every one.

The coastal road through Na Jomtien is the alternative: slower, narrower, far prettier, with villages, restaurants and speed bumps. It loses time and gains everything else, so take Sukhumvit when you are in a hurry and the coast road when you are not.

Two more local details. First, the sois off Sukhumvit into Na Jomtien are long, unlit at night and often have dogs — ride them slowly after dark. Second, rain: this stretch is exposed, tropical downpours come fast, and the painted road markings on Sukhumvit are genuinely slippery in the first minutes of a shower. Pull under a canopy and wait it out; the rain usually stops before you would have dried off.

Fuel: Sukhumvit is lined with proper PTT and Bangchak stations, so the highway is easy. The coastal road and Bang Saray itself have fewer — fill up on Sukhumvit before turning off, and do not rely on bottle sellers for a long ride. We hand the bike over fuelled and ask for it back the same way.

Police checks, licence and helmets

Checkpoints on this stretch are less about tourists and more routine: they appear on Sukhumvit near the Sattahip approaches and around the Nong Nooch junction. Because you are on a highway rather than a city street, expect the check to be brisk and by the book — helmet and licence.

We do not require a driving licence to rent; your passport is enough. But under Thai law you may only ride with a category A or A1 licence, Thai or international, and that is exactly what is checked here. The fine for no licence is 500–1 000 ฿, for no helmet 500 ฿, and it is the rider who pays. Two helmets come with every bike. See our article on renting a motorbike in Pattaya without a licence and the rental rules page.

Bike delivery to Bang Saray and Na Jomtien

Delivery runs from our Pratumnak office on Pattaya Park Rd. Within Pattaya we deliver in 30 to 90 minutes depending on the address and the workload; Na Jomtien is on the edge of that and Bang Saray is beyond the city limits, so please agree delivery there with the manager before booking — the price and the feasibility both depend on the exact address. Delivery is a paid service in all cases and the manager quotes the amount in advance. Message WhatsApp +66 88 520 5496 or Telegram @RentMotor with your address, dates and model. If you prefer, collect the bike at the office and ride down yourself — it is a pleasant 40 minutes and you will know the road afterwards. Office addresses and maps are on the contacts page.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an office in Bang Saray?
No. Our two offices are in Pratumnak (Pattaya Park Rd) and Naklua (Naklua Rd), both open daily 10:00–20:00. From Pratumnak to Bang Saray is 30–40 minutes by bike.
Can you deliver a bike to Bang Saray?
Bang Saray is outside Pattaya, so this needs to be agreed in advance: write to the manager with the exact address and we will tell you whether it is possible and what it costs. Delivery is always a paid service.
How do I book, and can I cancel or move the dates?
We confirm bookings in the chat, on WhatsApp or Telegram, and take no prepayment. If your plans change, message us and we will move or cancel the reservation.
What documents and deposit do I need?
A passport, from which we make a copy — the original stays with you. Cash deposit: 2 000 ฿ up to 160cc, 5 000 ฿ for 300–350cc, 1 000 ฿ for a bicycle. No licence is required to rent.
Is a 125cc enough for the ride to Pattaya?
It will do it, but on Sukhumvit a 150–160cc is noticeably calmer, especially two-up and especially when you need to accelerate away from a U-turn. For daily Bang Saray–Pattaya trips we recommend a PCX 150 or larger.
What about returning the bike late?
Write to the manager in advance and we will extend the rental, counted per day. It is much easier to arrange in the chat than to be late without warning — especially from this far south.
Can I ride further, to Rayong or Ko Samet?
Yes, there is no mileage limit and no area restriction on the mainland. Tell the manager if you are leaving for several days. Note that to reach any island you will have to leave the bike at the pier — the ferries do not carry motorbikes.
How do I pay, and who pays fines and accident costs?
Payment is in cash at the office or on delivery; for any other method ask the manager in advance. Traffic fines issued during the rental are paid by the rider. In an accident, stop, do not move the vehicles, photograph everything and call us at once — we are reachable for the whole rental; call 191 if anyone is injured.
