I don't know what bike Lonerider paid 20 GBP per day for, but I know that the daily rate for a Honda CRF250L (perfect bike for the job) is 800 THB (16 GBP) per day in Chiang Mai but 1,000 THB (20 GBP) in Chiang Rai. There isn't the same competition between rental shops in Chiang Rai. What the premium would be for taking the bike to Laos, I don't know.
