You can use the roads to Haad Rin, but you have been warned that the concrete roads are not in the best state and unless consider yourself a confident motorcycle driver then don't attempt to get to HadRin, as nearly all accidents involving scooters happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the seven eleven at BaanTai and pay approx 50 Baht for a pickup over the mountains to Haad Rin.
