I have friends in Cambodia that I visit several times a year and I just bought a new motorcycle for my touring bike. It's a Kawasaki and the dealer told me that it was running about three months before getting the green book and white plates. My question is there any way to get special permission to take a bike to another country while it has red plates?  Cambodia customs never bothers to look at the bike so it would only be for Thailand customs to let me exit and reenter. Has anyone done this and is it possible? I don't want to wait three months before my next trip ????.

I don’t know 100% but I’d say without Green Book, it’s impossible.

I'm with Dilligad. One more thought though: maybe it's possible to register the bike yourself at the DLT and speed it up? There's no reason for this to take 3 months and most of the time it's just the dealer that's slow as hell. Ask your DLT directly how fast they can do it. Should probably range from 1 day to 1 week.

Insist that your dealer gives you the papers for the bike, then you can register it yourself and can have the white plates and green book within a day. Costs about 1000 THB.
