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.

What Lonerider paid extra for, compared to the rent you mentioned in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, was to be able and allowed to cross the border to Laos and ride in Laos on that bike.
To rent a bike in Thailand and ride it around in Thailand is one thing. To rent a bike in Thailand and to cross borders and ride in another country is something completely different.
If you know any better deals for renting a bike in Thailand that allows you to take the bike over a border and into another country - please share the information with us.
