ezzra Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Not a good idea to import any motor vehicle into this country, infact, i'm pretty sure you will not be allowed to.. check the fact before you do anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It will get stuck at customs, then if by some miracle gets past them it will get stuck at the Land transportation Department. There was a report on here somewhere of a US military person being able to import his vehicle it took a long time,lots of bureaucratic steps and he was a special case "normal" people don't stand a chance... either sell the bike and buy another fully road legal one here or keep it in storage for if/when you return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaanbiker Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Just don't do it. Google it and you'll find countless posts about it. The tax could be anything they want and it could be there for years. Buy one here and forget about it. = No headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 If by some miracle you actually managed to import it, to get it on the road legally it will need to pass an emission test which from memory is about 100k (per time).......whats the chances it passes 1 time !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It's a complete and utter nightmare - I wanted to import my bike from the UK but the paperwork, time and outrageous fees meant that it wasn't worth it. Better to sell your bike and buy a similar one in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 For cars I remember that they have changed law and forbid any private import of used vehicles. Not sure whether it also applies to motorbikes, but anyway just see posts above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPKANKAN Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) I thought about bringing my hand built sports car with me. Could have got in here for £1,000.00 as I had a mate in shipping. Then sat and thought. What about spares? Then, more importantly, import tax implications. When I checked, customs here could put their own assessment on it which could have ended up as much as 10 times its value!! End of the thought.????????????????????????????????

Kwasaki Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) I'm surprised people are still asking this question in a post. Edited March 7, 2020 by Kwasaki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
