Road surfaces in Krabi are generally very good, but punctures still happen — often from nails, sharp stones, or worn tyres on longer rentals.

If you get a flat: get off the bike and push it if you can. You may ride very slowly — around 10 km/h — only to reach a nearby shop. Tyre repair shops are everywhere in Thailand; repairs usually take no more than 30 minutes and cost at most around 300 baht, depending on the bike and tyre type.

If you are stuck, locals often stop to help when they see someone in difficulty. You can also contact us on WhatsApp if you rented from Krabi Moto Rentals.

It is common to see motorcycles using the wrong side of the road, especially on quieter stretches or when someone is looking for a turn-off.

At every junction and merge, look both directions — not only the way traffic is supposed to come. Treat blind merges as two-way until you have confirmed both sides are clear.

Stray dogs, cats, goats, and large lizards move onto roads after dark, often without warning.

Reduce speed, use your horn lightly if needed, and assume something may run out from the verge. If you are not confident riding at night, plan to finish your ride before sunset.

If anything unexpected happens — a dog, a car pulling out, gravel — you need to stop quickly. At higher speeds there is often not enough room on the road to brake safely, which is how minor situations become accidents.

Ride at a speed where you could stop within the distance you can see. When in doubt, slow down further.
