Honda Click vs PCX Chiang Mai — Which Scooter Should You Rent? 2026
One of the most common questions we get at Papaya Rentals is: should I rent the Honda Click or the Honda PCX? Both are excellent bikes. Both are automatic. Both handle Chiang Mai's roads with ease. But they are meaningfully different — and choosing the right one makes a real difference to your experience.
This guide breaks down the Honda Click 160 vs Honda PCX 150 comparison in plain language — so you can make the right choice for your trip.
Honda Click 160 — Overview
The Honda Click 160 is Thailand's most popular scooter — and for good reason. It is practical, efficient, comfortable and capable of handling almost everything Chiang Mai has to offer. Our Click 160s are 2025-2026 models — virtually brand new.
Best for:
Daily city riding
Day trips to Doi Suthep and surrounding areas
Two riders on moderate terrain
Riders who want the most versatile all-round scooter
Digital nomads and long stay travellers
Key features:
157cc engine — more than enough power for city and mountain riding
Smart key system — no physical key, keyless start
Full digital instrument panel
LED lighting throughout
Under-seat storage
Phone holder included
2 helmets included
Honda PCX 150 — Overview
The Honda PCX 150 is the premium step up from the Click. It is longer, more comfortable, more refined and designed for riders who want a more comfortable experience — particularly on longer rides and for two riders who want more space.
Best for:
Couples who want to ride together in comfort
Longer rides and day trips
Riders who prioritise comfort over agility
Those upgrading from a Click who want a more substantial feel
Key features:
149cc engine — smooth and refined power delivery
Longer wheelbase — more stable at speed
Wider, more comfortable seat — significantly better for two riders
Larger storage capacity under seat
More refined suspension — smoother over bumps
Phone holder included
2 helmets included
The Key Differences — What Actually Matters
1. Seat size and comfort for two riders
This is the most significant practical difference between the two bikes. The PCX has a noticeably longer and wider seat than the Click — making it significantly more comfortable for two riders on longer journeys.
If you are riding solo the difference is less important. If you are riding as a couple for extended periods — the PCX is the more comfortable choice.
2. Engine age
Our Click 160s are 2025-2026 models — virtually brand new. Our PCX 150s are 2016-2019 models with low mileage. In practice both bikes are well maintained and reliable — but the Click is newer.
3. Price
The Click 160 is meaningfully cheaper than the PCX 150 — particularly on longer rentals. If budget is a consideration and you are riding solo, the Click offers exceptional value.
4. Agility in the city
The Click is slightly shorter and more agile — easier to manoeuvre in tight city traffic and narrow streets. The PCX's longer wheelbase makes it slightly less nimble in very tight spaces.
5. Highway and long distance comfort
The PCX's longer wheelbase and more refined suspension make it marginally more comfortable on longer highway stretches. If you are planning extended road trips, the PCX has a slight edge on pure comfort.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose the Honda Click 160 if:
You are riding solo
You want the newest, most modern bike
You are budget conscious
You want maximum agility in city traffic
You are doing day trips and city riding
Choose the Honda PCX 150 if:
You are riding as a couple and want maximum comfort
You are planning longer rides and road trips
You prefer a larger, more substantial feel
Comfort is your priority over agility
