You can use the roads to HadRin, but you have been warned that the concrete roads are not in the greatest state and unless consider yourself a competitant motorbike driver then do not try to get to HaadRin, as nearly all accidents involving motorcycles happen in this area. Our advice is to leave your motorcylce at the seven eleven at BanTai and pay about 40 Baht for a pickup over the hills to HaadRin.
