Common questions about the Yamaha NMAX 155

• Do I need an IDP for the Yamaha NMAX 155?+

  Yes. At 155 cc the NMAX requires an International Driving Permit with a motorcycle endorsement plus your home-country license. We verify both in the Thai Bike app before releasing the bike. Without an IDP your mandatory third-party insurance is void and you risk a 500-1,000 THB checkpoint fine.
• How does the NMAX 155 compare to the PCX 160?+

  Same daily price band (250-400 THB), same displacement class, but different character. The NMAX uses Yamaha's Variable Valve Actuation for stronger top-end pull, dual ABS plus traction control, and a sportier ride. The PCX has a flat floor, larger 30 L under-seat box (versus 25 L on the NMAX), and a smoother low-speed feel. Pick the NMAX if you want sport-scooter feel; pick the PCX if you carry more luggage or ride two-up.
• What's included with the NMAX 155 and how much is the deposit?+

  Daily rate includes Por Ror Bor third-party insurance, two helmets, a wheel lock, and a phone mount. The refundable deposit is 3,000-5,000 THB held by card pre-authorisation - never your passport. Optional Collision Damage Waiver from 100 THB/day caps your damage liability if anything happens. Damage at return is documented against the photos taken on delivery, so pre-existing scratches cannot be charged to you.
• Can I take the NMAX 155 on the highway?+

  Yes. The 155 cc engine cruises comfortably at 90-100 km/h, with enough top-end to hold 110 km/h on the Bangkok expressway or the Phuket coastal road. Dual ABS and traction control are standard, which matters on wet monsoon tarmac. The 7.1-litre tank covers around 280 km, enough for any inter-city Thai run without a fuel stop.
• Is the NMAX 155 a good two-up scooter?+

  Yes - it's one of the better two-up sport scooters in this class. The seat is contoured rather than flat, the rear pegs are well-positioned, and the engine pulls confidently with a passenger up gentle hills. The 25-litre box takes a full-face plus a small day bag. Couples doing all-day rides will find the PCX flat-floor design slightly more relaxing, but for sportier two-up riding the NMAX is the right pick.

Other Scooters in Koh Phangan

• 

  Honda Scoopy

  110cc · Automatic

  The Honda Scoopy is the lightest, cheapest, lowest-to-the-ground scooter on the platform - the one to pick if you're 155 cm tall, if this is your first scooter anywhere, or if you just want a retro-looking runabout for island beach hops. At 93 kg it's easier to push out of a sandy hotel driveway than anything else in the lineup, the 746 mm seat gives flat feet to most riders, and the 110 cc single is docile enough that a nervous rider won't accidentally over-accelerate. CBS (not ABS) links the brakes to prevent the front from locking first, which covers the most common beginner mistake. Idling stop kills the engine at red lights so you never stall. At 150-200 THB per day it's also the lowest entry cost in Thailand - the default pick on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

  Yamaha Filano

  125cc · Automatic

  The Yamaha Filano is the style pick in the scooter lineup - a modern-retro 125 that looks at home parked outside a Phuket beach cafe or a Koh Samui boutique. Past the styling, it's a practical daily: the 125 cc Blue Core engine has more pull than a Scoopy for mild coastal hills, the Smart Motor Generator makes starts almost silent (no more waking up the hotel), and stop-start kills idle at red lights. The wide flat seat handles two-up better than most 125s, and at 96 kg it's close to Scoopy-light for parking in sandy lots. Front ABS is standard on the Connected trim Thai Bike stocks, and UBS links front and rear for balanced stops. 150-250 THB per day puts it above a Scoopy and well below an NMAX, which matches its role: better-looking commuter, not more-powerful one.

  Honda Click 160

  160cc · Automatic

  The Honda Click 160 is Thailand's default rental scooter - the baseline you'll find at every shop in every city on the platform. At 200-300 THB per day it replaces 500-1,500 THB in daily taxis or Grab, so first-time riders get unlimited mobility without rebudgeting the trip. The fully automatic CVT, 780 mm seat height, and 118 kg wet weight make it forgiving for anyone who has never ridden before: no clutch, both feet flat at stops, easy to push around a narrow soi. Under-seat storage holds 18 litres (a day bag fits), the USB port keeps your phone charged while it runs navigation, and a 5.5 litre tank covers 200+ km between fills. Front ABS is standard on the 2022+ generation, which matters on wet monsoon roads.

  Honda PCX 160

  160cc · Automatic

  The Honda PCX 160 is the step up from the Click - a premium-feel commuter scooter that keeps the 200-tier price ceiling. The wider seat, flat floor, and 30-litre under-seat box make it the natural pick for couples and riders who carry more than a day bag (a full-face helmet plus rain jacket fits). Front and rear ABS and Honda's Selectable Torque Control give you a real margin on wet Bangkok expressway ramps or a sudden Phuket downpour. An 8.1-litre tank pushes range past 300 km, the small windscreen cuts 100 km/h wind, and the 764 mm seat stays accessible for shorter riders. At 250-400 THB per day it costs a little more than a Click but earns it on longer days and two-up trips.

  Honda ADV 160

  157cc · Automatic

  The Honda ADV 160 is the scooter for riders who want to leave the main road without learning a clutch. 130 mm of front suspension travel and larger 14-inch front / 13-inch rear wheels handle the potholes, broken tarmac, and unsealed shortcuts you'll find on Chiang Mai's Samoeng loop, Phuket's back roads to Kata, or the interior tracks on Koh Samui. Honda kept the automatic CVT and 780 mm seat height of a normal city scooter, so there's no new skill to acquire - just more capability when the pavement ends. Front ABS, knuckle guards, and a tall windscreen add genuine all-weather composure. 30 litres under the seat takes a day pack and rain jacket; the 8.1-litre tank stretches past 300 km. At 300-500 THB per day it's priced between a Click and a real adventure bike - and bridges exactly that gap.

  Yamaha XMAX 300

  300cc · Automatic

  The Yamaha XMAX 300 is where the scooter category crosses into motorcycle territory. The 300cc Blue Core engine pulls past 120 km/h with a passenger and luggage, the adjustable windscreen cuts highway wind on a 200 km inter-city run, and the 45-litre box swallows two full-face helmets or real weekend luggage. Dual ABS and traction control are not optional badges here - they are the reason experienced riders pick the XMAX over a 155cc when they're doing Bangkok-Pattaya, Phuket-Krabi, or Chiang Mai day loops. At 179 kg it's heavier than a Click, but the 795 mm seat stays manageable and there's still no clutch to learn. The 500-800 THB daily rate reflects the class - this is a maxi-scooter, priced between sport scooters and full-size bikes.
