Crossing Borders On Motorcycle From Thailand

[wildpikey]

Does anyone know the score if you have a bike registared in Thailand, but would like to take it touring to Cambodia and Lao?

what do you need to do to make it legal and ease the crossing, also is there time limits etc. before you have to cross back into Thailand.

In short...assuming the bike is reg'ed in your name... border crossings are easy. As the GT site will inform you, Thai customs

gives you a temporary export permit for the bike, which is good for 30-days. Yet the 30-day rule is usually not enforced (YMMV)

as my last trip to Cambo & Laos was 2-months duration before returning to Thailand without any problem.
