papa al Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least their driving was good last time i visited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kuzie57 Posted May 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2022 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just got the following from a Laos expat: >>>>. New 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! <<<<<<<<<<< papa thinking about riding the mighty Lifan200 D/S.

Roads are bad there. So, no restrictions on size (cc's) ? Group numbers ? Entry points (old bridge rule) ? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
