Hi all, an everything else question, hopefully not too silly.

We’re planning on visiting Samui over the weekend for a day to do some touristy bits all over. Stayed in January but only in Lamai. I know the best way to get around is bike but we recently had an accident and I am still a bit nervous of spending the whole day on a bike still. Is it worth renting a car for the day? Not in terms of money, more so traffic, if the island is busy atm, if things are generally accessible (even if parking up somewhere and walking for access is fine). I know the last part will generally be up to where we go, but just a vague idea. Hoping someone has rented a car on the island recently for some personal experience/advice! 🙂 Thank you in advance!
