Ko Sichang is a great place to rent a motorcycle--as long as you're more interested in scenery than speed. You can't rent a very big bike, either: the norm is 125cc for B200 or B250 a day.

There are some spectactular views, and some very little traveled back roads. You can enjoy the wind-swept vistas from Tham Phang or Laem Nguu headlands, or make your way down shady lanes overhung with bamboo in the area just south of the Chinese Temple. The back alleys around the waterfront near Thaa Bon pier provide some fascinating windows in time, too. We've talked to any number of visitors who thought they'd driven everywhere, but there was always something they'd missed. And there's one little road no visitor has ever found yet... no, we won't tell you, either.
