Bike to Laos

Featured Replies

Seems border is open.

Is there a displacement restriction for taking a bike in?

Heard 300cc min once but

really dunno.

Would really like to do a tour there.

Mighty Lifan-200 possibly.

Not sure about a scooter there, but we drove over in the car, and was restricted to Vientiane only.  Not that we wanted to go beyond.  Don't know if or what you would need, more permissions to go further.  That was 10 yrs ago.

I have ridden into Laos on 2 seperate occasions and the size of the bike is not an issue. Our first trip we had a 800, 650 and a 500. You will need to take your green book with you, copies of the pages and also buy insurance for the bikes in Laos, this can be done at the border. The process is not very long. You are not restricted as to where you can ride.

To enter Lao the cc doesn't matter. The law to only allow up to 250cc in Lao has recently changed as well.
......
Borders are open again, no restrictions, welcome!

Do they check your Thai driving license or a international driving permit will suffice ?

So, no restrictions on size (cc's) ?

Group numbers ?

Entry points (old bridge rule) ?

Thanks in advance
