Getting around Khanom
There is no public transportation in Khanom, and the taxis are way too expensive. Walking is an option only if you train for some marathon as the distances are big. To make a long story short – you need wheels. Best and cheapest option – rent a scooter. The roads are good, there is not much traffic.
The scooters can be rented starting 200 baht a day. There is no rent-a-car office in town either but there are a few people who rent cars to tourists. A Nissan Micra, for example, starts at 1200 baht per day. You can also find bicycles for rent (80-100 baht per day). I recommend this option to those well trained as if you start riding towards the Southern beaches you would have to go on 20-25 degrees slopes.
For airport transfers or day trips contact Toon Tours, run by the adorable Toon and his partner. They run various trips around Khanom and farther out to Surat Thani or Khao Sok National Park. Another well-known local agency is Khanom Fishing Tours, attached to Khun Lee’s Restaurant. The name says it all about their packages: dolphin trips, cruising and fishing.
===============================================================
Alternatief is dus fietsen of een auto huren.
Taxi's schijnen er amper te zijn, of duur.
Je probleem met een scooter huren snap ik... het zijn inderdaad feitelijk motoren waarvoor je een motorrijbewijs nodig hebt.
