Once your South of Hat Yai keep your bullet proof vest on till you've crossed the border!

Anyone know what the proceedure is?

Easy, the official and recommended way

1. Obtain a translation of your green book from either the office that registered it, OR, the province next to the border you intend to cross. This takes just a few minutes and a few Baht for a sheet of A4.

2. Attach a license plate with the English equivalent of the Thai letters. (I laminated a computer print out and stuck it over the existing plate... nobody complained :D )

3. Once you are over the border you need to take out Malaysian insurance for the period you will be riding around in Malaysia. There is an office just before the Malaysian immigration office the border in Sadao. This takes about 30 minutes waiting for fax confirmation. I paid about 500 Baht or so for a month.

And the other way, before I knew better, just ride across..... But you're uninsured and illegal.

Enjoy the excellent motorways (no fees for bikes, just ride around the detour) and don't miss the Cameroun highlands, superb biking.

Out standing thank you
