Travelling With A Thai Car Around Asia, It's Possible?

[ITGabs]

Hi, I am thinking to bought a car to travel around, it's possible to cross the frontiers with my own car?

What I need for example to go to Laos, Vietnam, China, or Cambodia?

I know that Myanmar should be impossible but for Nepal, India?

My dream...

I want to travel in car around 4 or 6 months probably more if we can, stopping for a while in the cities that we like etc.

My idea is from Thailand to Greece, avoiding as possible Pakistan and Afghanistan. or wherever another complicated country at the moment of travel.

All comments are welcome

It's been done before, so no reason you wouldn't be able to do it. You'll want a car that can take pretty much everything the worst roads in the world can dish up though..

Is certain documentation required to drive a Thai registered vehicle into:

1 - Laos

2 - Malaysia and Indonesia

and back into Thailand?

Sure a valuable bluebook and an Insurancepolicy wich covers damage abroad aswell.

International driverlicense together with your home license or a Thai driver license .

And your pasport ofcourse.

And incase of a bluebook registration on a person not present in the car I would take with me

a short signed statement your alowed to go over the border with it.
