The Anna Motorbike Rental Chiang Mai shopfront sits at 30, 32 Phra Pokklao Soi 1 in Phra Sing, the Old City temple subdistrict immediately south of Wat Phra Singh. The counter rents compact cars on the same address as the 110-150cc scooters, a dual-fleet listing that's the exception in a city where almost every other Byklo Chiang Mai partner runs motorbikes only. The storefront shuts at 18:00, an hour or two ahead of the typical Old City close, so a same-day walk-in pickup needs to land before that window or the booking goes through Byklo ahead of arrival.
Plan around the 18:00 storefront close
Anna's storefront shuts at 18:00. That's an hour or two earlier than the 19:00-20:00 cutoff most Old City rental shops keep, and it changes the booking calculus for a same-day walk-in. Schedule the pickup before 17:30 to leave time for the rental contract and a 5-minute video walkaround; arriving at 17:55 with a flight just landed at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) is the wrong gamble, especially on monsoon-season afternoons when the Outer Ring Road clogs and the airport-to-Old-City taxi run stretches past 45 minutes.
The early close pairs with a clear daytime presence. The Google profile lists a 4.4 rating across recent reviews and a storefront line at 081 681 1124, the operational signal that the shop is run as a primary business rather than a side concern. The plus code on the place panel (QXJQ+RJ) drops the pin precisely on the soi, useful for a Grab driver who is not familiar with the small temple-side lanes around Wat Phra Singh.
30, 32 Phra Pokklao Soi 1: a Phra Sing pickup, not an airport-corridor one
Phra Pokklao runs the Old City moat-to-moat axis on the central north-south spine of the walled grid, from Chang Phueak Gate at the northern moat down past Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang to the Chiang Mai Gate at the southern wall. Soi 1 branches into Phra Sing, the temple-dense subdistrict that hosts the Sunday Walking Street market every weekend on Ratchadamnoen Road. Anna's address (30, 32) sits three short blocks down that soi, 350m walking from the Tha Phae Gate moat corner and a five-minute scooter ride from the Sunday Walking Street start at Wat Chedi Luang.
For a Nimman or Wualai stay, Anna's central Old City address sits within 2 km of the most-booked Chiang Mai accommodation zones, which is geometric context worth noting if you want a partner shop close to where you're sleeping rather than at the airport-corridor stretch around the Outer Ring Road where several other Chiang Mai partners pick up. The plus code on the place panel (QXJQ+RJ) drops the pin precisely on the soi, useful for a Grab driver who is not familiar with the small temple-side lanes around Wat Phra Singh.
Cars on the same counter as the scooters
Anna's listed Google Maps name is "Anna car and motorbike Rental" and the operational reality matches the listing. The same shopfront stocks compact rental cars (the four-door Toyota Yaris / Honda Brio class typical for Chiang Mai groups) alongside 110-125cc automatic scooters (Honda Click, Yamaha Filano) and 150cc bikes (Honda PCX, Yamaha NMAX). Most Byklo partners in Chiang Mai specialise in one fleet only, which makes Anna's counter the rare option for parties whose itinerary mixes Old City temple-walking with a road-trip leg that's better suited to four wheels. The 110-150cc scooter band sits inside the canonical 150-300 THB Chiang Mai daily rate band documented in the Chiang Mai motorbike rental price guide.
For an everyday motorbike rider, the practical advantage of the dual-fleet counter is the rainy-season fallback. If a tropical squall hits at 14:00 in May-October monsoon and the climb on Route 1004 to Doi Suthep at 1,073m turns slick, Anna's counter is one of the few Byklo Chiang Mai addresses where a swap to four wheels is doable on the same contract without a cross-town hand-back. For drier-day scooter use, the 100 km Samoeng Loop on Route 1096 and the Mae Sa Valley waterfall route are both inside the day-trip range a 110-150cc rental from a central Phra Sing pickup is built for.
Documents and rule-set Anna's team checks at pickup
Anna runs the standard Thai-rental document set at pickup: a valid home-country motorcycle licence with the International Driving Permit "A" endorsement that Royal Thai Police checkpoints near the moat verify on the climb to Doi Suthep, plus the cash-deposit terms documented for every Byklo partner. The 4.4 Google rating across the place profile and the 081 681 1124 storefront line are the operational signals that this is a primary business rather than a side concern, which matters because document-checking discipline at pickup is the single best predictor of whether a return-leg dispute is ever going to happen.
Standard partner terms apply at Anna as across the Byklo network - see the Chiang Mai rental price hub again for the area-by-area pricing breakdown and the Thailand rental scams guide for the document and deposit standards every vetted partner follows.
Booking through Byklo
If you want to lock a Chiang Mai rental in before arrival, Byklo is the booking platform: filter to Chiang Mai, pick the rental window and the bike class, and Byklo handles the contract and the cash-deposit standards across the partner network. Hotel-delivery to central Old City, Nimman, Wualai, and the moat-ring areas where Phra Sing addresses sit is one of the booking options the platform surfaces - book ahead to give the network the runway to confirm a delivery window. The operational specifics this profile covered (the 18:00 storefront close, the dual-fleet listing of cars alongside 110-150cc scooters, the central Phra Sing address near Wat Phra Singh) are the kind of partner-level detail the Byklo network collects so a Chiang Mai trip lines up to expectations on the ground.
The license and IDP rules every Byklo partner verifies at pickup are set by the Thai Department of Land Transport.
