The SK Service Motorbike Rental Chiang Mai counter sits at 14/12 Kaeo Nawarat 5 Alley in Wat Ket, the subdistrict on the east bank of the Ping River across the Iron Bridge from the Old City moat. The Google Maps profile lists the shop as Open 24 hours, the only Byklo Chiang Mai partner with a round-the-clock designation, useful for late-arrival flights into Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) when most Old City counters have already shuttered. The 12-model fleet runs from a 110cc Honda Wave through a 160cc Honda ADV.
14/12 Kaeo Nawarat 5 Alley: a Wat Ket pickup, east of the Ping River
SK Service's address at 14/12 Kaeo Nawarat 5 Alley puts the counter in Wat Ket, the Chiang Mai subdistrict on the east bank of the Ping River (Mae Nam Ping in Thai), separated from the Old City moat by a single crossing on the Iron Bridge (Saphan Lek). The plus code Q2X8+WM resolves the pin to the right soi, helpful when a Grab driver hasn't memorised Wat Ket's smaller sub-lanes. The neighbourhood sits roughly a kilometre south of the Chiang Mai railway station on Charoen Muang Road, which makes a same-day rail-and-rent itinerary practical: off the overnight train from Bangkok at Hualamphong, scooter pickup at the Wat Ket counter inside the same morning.
For a rider whose itinerary heads north or east of the city, the Wat Ket pickup point cuts the in-city traffic on the way out. Highway 1006 runs north from the east bank toward Doi Saket and the Mae Kuang Reservoir, and Route 1014 east of Wat Ket leads to the San Kamphaeng Hot Springs and the handicraft strip without a moat-circle detour. Travellers staying inside the Old City or in Nimman can hop a Grab to the Wat Ket address or use Byklo's hotel-delivery option to bring the bike west across the river, which keeps the Chiang Mai Old City and the Samoeng Loop on Route 1096 on the menu for the same day.
A Google Play app and a TikTok feed: digital channels not standard for Chiang Mai rental shops
SK Service ships a native customer Android app on Google Play under the package name com.skservice, alongside an active TikTok handle (@s.k.service) and a Thai-English bilingual Facebook page under "S.K.Service Motorcycle For Rent - บริการให้เช่ามอเตอร์ไซค์ในเชียงใหม่". The shop also publishes a booking site at skservice.biz and the operational contact line 098 753 2665 on the Maps panel. Most Chiang Mai rental counters in this size class run a single Facebook page or a simple booking form; a dedicated app, an active short-video channel, and a registered booking domain together signal a shop investing in a direct-traveller funnel rather than relying on walk-ins from the moat ring.
For a Byklo rider, the shop's own digital channels aren't the booking surface - reservations still route through byklo.rent so the marketplace handles the contract paperwork and the cash-deposit terms - but the multi-channel footprint reads as a useful operational signal. A Maps-listed business with a working Android app, a current TikTok feed, and a registered booking domain reads as a primary business with a maintenance budget rather than a part-time side counter. The 12-model fleet visible across the shop's listings (ADV 160, Click 125, Click 160, Giorno 125, PCX 160, Scoopy-i 110, Wave 110, Wave 125, Filano 125, Fino 125, NMAX 155, Qbix 125) is wider than the typical 3-5 model Chiang Mai partner inventory, which gives a Byklo booking at this address more bike-class options at a single counter.
Listed as Open 24 hours: a late-arrival window most Old City shops can't match
The Google Maps panel for SK Service shows the operating hours as Open 24 hours, the only listing across the Chiang Mai Byklo partner network with a round-the-clock designation. For a traveller whose Air Asia or Thai Smile flight lands at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) past 22:00, the round-the-clock badge is the difference between a same-night pickup and an Old-City overnight stop waiting for the morning shops to open. Anna's storefront on Phra Pokklao closes at 18:00, several Old City counters cap their day at 19:00-20:00, and the typical scooter shop east of the Tha Phae Gate is shuttered well before midnight. The Wat Ket address is positioned as a late-evening option specifically.
The 125cc Click, Wave 125, Filano 125, and Fino 125 sit inside the 150-300 THB Chiang Mai daily band documented in the Chiang Mai motorbike rental price guide; the 150-160cc PCX 160, NMAX 155, ADV 160, and Click 160 quote on confirmation as the touring class. Cash deposit (500-2,000 THB) replaces the original-passport-as-collateral pattern that's still common at non-Byklo Wat Ket walk-ins, and a passport copy is the document expected at hand-off. For a same-night-arrival rider, the practical read is to pre-book through Byklo so the partner network has the runway to confirm the late-evening hand-off rather than gambling on a 02:00 walk-in to the soi.
Standard Byklo terms apply at the SK Service counter: see the Chiang Mai rental price guide for area-by-area pricing, the Thailand rental scams guide for the document and deposit standards every vetted partner follows, and the International Driving Permit guide for the IDP "A" endorsement Royal Thai Police verify on the climb up Highway 1004 to Doi Suthep.
Book a Wat Ket pickup through Byklo
Holding the Wat Ket pickup ahead of the flight runs through Byklo, where the dates-and-class filter, the contract paperwork, and the cash-deposit terms all route through the partner network. Hotel delivery west across the Iron Bridge to Old City, Nimman, and Tha Phae Gate stays is one route the marketplace can coordinate; the smoother path is to book ahead so the network has runway to line up a same-day delivery window. The 24-hour Maps designation on the SK Service listing, the 14/12 Kaeo Nawarat 5 Alley address east of the Ping River, and the 12-model spread from Wave 110 through ADV 160 are the operational reads Byklo's profile of this shop holds on file.
Licence and IDP requirements at every Byklo Chiang Mai partner follow the Thai Department of Land Transport standards; Royal Thai Police on Highway 1004 verify the 'A' endorsement on the climb to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep.
