Taking a motorbike into Lao

[James Roderick]

As the heading says, is it possible to take a Thai- registered bike into  Lao  ?  If so , what documentation is required and how difficult is the transfer process in getting my bike from here to there. My plan is to travel around Lao by bike for about a month before returning to the Kingdom. Has anyone ever done such a trip with their own bike?

 

 

On that same note, is it possible to put a motorbike on the train from Bangkok to Udon Thani or Nong Khai ? ??

 

Many thanks in Advance

yes and yes....i bought a bike in KK and put it on train to NK.....cost me 100 bt

 

for Laos you need the green book to show its yours an not being "stolen" into laos

 

they escort you and the bike across the bridge and there is a fee as well.....as i was in CK the other week and they had info on it...can do a google search for CK-into Laos and mbikes...

At one time Laos had a 300cc minimum for temp import.

At one time Thai Rail had a 150cc max limit for moto transport.

So, yea...

Yes, but every border seems to have different rules that change often.
