You can use the roads to Had Rin, but we have warned you that the concrete roads are not in the best condition and only if you are a confident motorcycle rider then don't attempt to get to HadRin, as nearly all accidents involving scooters happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your scooter at the 7/11 at Ban Tai and pay approx 50 Baht for a taxi over the hills to HaadRin. The easiest way from BKK to Phanganwould be to get yourself joint tickets from Songserm Travel Center for ferry and speed boats, bus, trains, airplanes to Phangan.
