Hi, i'm newbie to posting but been reading topics on thaivisa 4 a few years (while living in Cambodia)...

Moving to BKK 5th July from Phnom Penh and would dearly love to figure a way to bring over my fantastic ole buddy, my Yamaha TTR250 Raid...

I've just been reading mentions on other topics (and GT-rider forum) about import duty being waived on bikes that are 250cc or less... is this true???!!!

Has anyone any experience (or known anyone that's done it) importing a 250cc bike from Cambodia? Any idea of what costs/issues will/might ensue?

Ideally I'd like to just drive it through the border point at Koh Kong/Hat Lek, but can/how would that be done?

Cheers in advance for any replies.

ma boy!

We need more info. is it registered in Cambodia, if yes in who's name. are you going to do border runs every 3 months. I think you can bring it in as a cambodian personal import and border run it. LivinLOs has friends that do this in Phuket. If you where not staying in Bkk. i would just say ride it over the border(not at a crossing) then take the cambo plate off.

Cheers for the reply Allan.

As I didn't figure out a solution in time before leaving Cambo I sold the TT-R already [sigh].

Besides, I'm living in Bangkok, so I guess I made the right decision, as I understand the police are pretty alert to big bikes with/without the right plates in BKK.

Now just on the look out for something 2nd hand, my kind of size (6'3"), for less than 70,000 bht.... ?
