Most visitors to Samui rent 100cc motorbikes since they are relatively inexpensive (120-250 baht per day), but there are several hazards to take into consideration. The most frequent injuries visitors sustain come from burning their right calves on very hot exhaust pipes or from losing control of the bike around corners or on loose sand. Samui has the highest rate of driving fatalities in the Kingdom, and motorbike drivers are much more vulnerable than car or truck drivers. Fuel is available around the island at several modern gas stations or from roadside stand. You can spot these by the pumps: the prices are usually the same as at the stations. If you happen to get a flat tyre, don't panic. You are usually no more than a hundred meters from someone who can or knows a neighbour who can, repair your tyre. This takes about thirty minutes and costs about 50-100 baht, more if your whole inner tube needs to be replaced, or if you had to wake someone in the middle of the night to do the repair.
