You can use the concrete roads to HaadRin, but we have warned you that the roads are not in the greatest state and unless consider yourself a good motorcycle driver then do not try to get to Had Rin, as nearly all accidents involving scooters happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the 7/11 at BaanTai and pay about 50 Baht for a pick up over the mountains to Had Rin.
