There is a wide range of resort on the north side of the island. You can use the concrete roads to HadRin, but we have warned you that the roads are not in the greatest state and unless you are a competitant motorbike driver then do not attempt to get to HadRin, as nearly all accidents involving motorbikes happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your scooter at the 7/11 at BaanTai and pay approx 40 Baht for a pickup over the hills to HaadRin.
