Tommy RM Samui is a 4.9-rated scooter shop at 169/4 Thawi Ratsadon Phakdi Road in Tambon Maret, the Lamai Beach side of Koh Samui. Its listing is wider than most island counters: alongside the Honda Click 160 and Yamaha NMAX that travelers usually ask for, Tommy RM advertises bigger machines, a Yamaha XMax 300, a Honda ADV 350 and a Yamaha TMax 560 maxi-scooter, plus a Toyota Yaris. The shop also asks renters to film the bike at handover, recording any existing marks before they pull away from the forecourt.
Tambon Maret and the Lamai side, not the Chaweng strip
Tommy RM Samui works from 169/4 Thawi Ratsadon Phakdi Road in Tambon Maret, the subdistrict that wraps around Lamai Beach on the southeast coast of Koh Samui, and the storefront closes at 6 PM. Lamai is the island's second-largest resort town after Chaweng, lower-rise and more residential, and it opens straight onto the sights day-trippers come for: the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rock formations at the south end of the beach and the climb up to the Lamai viewpoints. Renting on this side puts the quieter half of the island on your doorstep.
Most Koh Samui rental counters cluster up in Chaweng, where the walk-in traffic is, so a Lamai base changes the daily geometry. The southern beaches, the Na Muang waterfalls and the Route 4169 ring road become the near side rather than a cross-island haul. Travelers weighing where to stay and ride can line the area up against the rest of the island in the Koh Samui motorbike rental guide, and the Koh Samui ring-road loop maps the roughly 50-kilometre Route 4169 circuit that passes the door.
A listing that runs from a Click 160 to a TMax 560
Among the bikes Tommy RM lists, the range is the unusual part. The small end is what most visitors want: the Honda Click 160 and Yamaha NMAX automatics that handle Samui's hills without fuss, with a nearly new Click 160 quoted at around 200 baht a day, inside the 140-to-350-baht band Koh Samui's 125cc class normally occupies. The shop's own listing then climbs well past that, to a Yamaha XMax 300, a Honda ADV 350 and a Yamaha TMax 560, the 560cc maxi-scooter that is closer to a touring motorcycle than a commuter step-through.
That top end is rare on a Samui rack. A TMax 560 or an ADV 350 turns the ring road and the steeper inland climbs into an easy two-up day rather than a strained one, and it gives riders who already own big bikes at home something familiar to book. The trade-off is licensing: anyone on the 300-to-560cc machines, and strictly anyone on a powered two-wheeler in Thailand, should carry an International Driving Permit endorsed for motorcycles, the document Thailand's Department of Land Transport recognises at a roadside check. Tommy RM may keep other models on hand beyond the advertised set, but the Click-to-TMax spread is what makes the listing read as a full-range shop rather than a scooter-only one. For where the rest of the island's day rates land, the Koh Samui scooter price guide breaks them down by class.
Film the scooter at handover: a built-in answer to the scratch dispute
Tommy RM Samui asks renters to film the scooter before they leave, recording any existing marks, a direct response to the single complaint that dogs Koh Samui scooter rental: the return-time damage charge. The island has a long-standing reputation for counters that point to a scuff at drop-off and bill it against a held deposit, and a dated video of the bike at pickup is the cleanest evidence a rider can carry into that conversation.
It pairs with how a Byklo booking is settled. The reservation fee is paid online, while the rental balance and any refundable deposit are handed over in cash at the counter, so there is no card left on file to be charged after you have flown home. A renter who has filmed the bike, kept the handover paperwork and paid the deposit in person has a record of every side of the rental. For the wider pattern of what to check and what to refuse on the island, the Koh Samui safety and scams guide and the broader Thailand rental scams guide cover the deposit and document standards every vetted partner is held to.
Electric bikes, delivery, and a base for the ring road
Tommy RM's listing reaches past motorbikes to electric bicycles, which the shop shows off on its own channels riding the lanes around Lamai, an easy option for short, flat hops to the beach or a café when a 125 is more bike than the trip needs. The counter also runs delivery and pickup and takes reservations ahead of time, so a bike can be lined up before you step off the Raja or Seatran ferry rather than sorted on arrival.
From a Lamai base, the obvious ride is the island loop. Route 4169 rings Koh Samui in roughly 50 kilometres of mostly flat coastal road, with the Na Muang waterfalls, the Secret Buddha Garden detour and the Big Buddha at the north tip all hanging off it. Riders bringing a bike across from the mainland, or planning to take one onward, can check how the crossings work in the Koh Samui ferry-with-motorbike guide before settling on a route.
Standard partner terms apply across the Byklo network. The best Koh Samui motorbike rental guide breaks the island's rates down area by area, and the Thai motorbike license guide covers the permit a rider needs for the 300cc-plus machines on Tommy RM's listing.
Reserve a Tommy RM Samui bike on Byklo
You can line up a Tommy RM Samui rental on Byklo.rent, picking your dates and a bike class from the Lamai listing, from a Honda Click 160 for beach hops to one of the bigger XMax, ADV or TMax machines for the ring road. The reservation is paid online and the deposit settled in cash at pickup; collection and any delivery are handled across the partner network, not pinned to one counter, so flag a delivery slot early if you are staying along the Lamai or Maenam coast. With the storefront closing at 6 PM, booking ahead of a late island arrival saves a next-morning scramble.
