I'm planning a motorbike road trip there and could use some insights (January or February) .

• Route: Which route did you find most scenic or efficient?
• Border Crossing: What was your experience at the border? Was one checkpoint easier than another?
• Highlights: What were the most memorable parts of your trip? Any must-see sights or hidden gems?
• Tips: Do you have any advice for a biker considering this journey? What should I be prepared for?
• I'm open to joining forces with other bikers who are interested in this trip. Let's connect and have a chin wag and plan a route together!"

You already asked this and that thread resulted in you saying you'll give Singapore and definitely Malaysia a miss (how you getting to Singapore without Malaysia?)

 

What changed?

 

 

Indeed. You already ask about driving Malaysia and Singapore and you sayed no.

In the south of Thailand you are afraid and yes they muslims will cut your mind.

Well that's why I asked what changed? He was adamant he wasn't going to Malaysia due to muslim issues (last post of linked thread above)

It's pretty obvious.  His mind changed, and it may change again.  Riding a motorcycle across 2 countries should not be taken lightly.

Time waster 

Don’t know how drive a bike. I tend to ride it. 

It's easy to drive to Malaysia. Any border crossing for exit; a quieter one for re-entry is my recommendation. 

 

For Singapore, apparently you need to apply for a permit, which also includes the electronic toll collection tag, 2 weeks prior to your arrival along with Singaporean third-party insurance. Since Malaysian insurance covers Singapore, I assume a Malaysian policy will cover that. 

 

I'm not sure if subsequent re-entries into Singapore can be made without giving advance notice, assuming you have the tag. Presumably yes, but I don't have any experience there. I've wanted to drive to Singapore, but never had time to drive further than Kuala Lumpur, hence why I never did.
