Risks of Violating Parking Rules
Wheel Locking or Towing
Your motorbike may be wheel-locked or towed, causing significant inconvenience and wasted time during your holiday.
Risk of Accidents
Illegally parked bikes narrow the road and can cause collisions or chain-reaction incidents with passing traffic.
Repair Costs
If your rental bike is damaged while parked illegally — even by a third party — you remain responsible for repair costs under the rental agreement.
Tips for Motorbike Renters
Always follow posted traffic signs, especially in tourist areas like Chaweng and Lamai.
When in doubt, use designated motorbike parking areas — they are common near beaches and shops.
Take a photo of where you park so you can easily find your bike and prove its condition on return.
Never park on pavements, in front of driveways, or blocking pedestrian access.
