For reasons I don't need to go into, I'm thinking of going to Burma for a few days.

Has anyone done this recently with a motor vehicle.

Is it possible at present?

Is it very difficult or easy?

Secondly - would it be possible to take a vehicle into Burma for an extended period - say 9 to 12 months?

The vehicle is Thai reg, no finance etc etc.

Not looking good.

I think it might be wise to inform with the Thai Customs if it possible to export temporarily a Thai car for a period as you mention.

I presume temporarily importing a car in Burma for the same period will be only possible if there will be made a substantial security.

But on my money, don't even try it.

I informed about the same possibilities into Laos.

Laos will give me, when I go for the first time a 7-day permit, second time a 14 day permit, and after that only 30 day permits.

But every time the car has to leave the country for the same period of time as the last permit.

I have no idea what the Thai custom will do if I tend to be a regular visitor to Laos.
