Nickymaster Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 what are the requirements to enter myanmar with bike?The facebook link talks about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The resolution of the document was hard to read but seems like: Cross border from Chiang Rai to nearby Tachileik. 2-day meet, Dec14 &15. 16th, escorted ride to Kyalng Tong (Tung) for lunch thence to Mong Lar (could not find on Googlemap). 17th ride back Tachileik. Is that how y'all are interpreting this? Are participants require to cross back to Thailand after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Sounds interesting according the FB link it's a short of Package deal which includes border service fees: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickymaster Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Is it really that easy to enter burma?They talk about immigration fees on their site. Normally one needs to get a visa on arrival which in fact has to be applied for online (given upon arrival). Maybe it's easier if you travel with a tour operator.

papa al Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ya, I suspect it is not permitted to ride-travel Myanmar without a tour operator. Maps suggest that the terrain is mountainous, hence desirable 'twisties?'; if well paved...which I doubt. I've been itching to ride M (&V) for some time. Not too keen on escorted tours though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) "Trip plan … Face Book: "16-December (13:00 hr) : Start riding from Tachileik to Kyainge Tong. Stay 1 night.17-December (09:00 hr) : Travelling to famous tourist attractions in Kyainge Tong and ride to Mong La. Visiti night market and stay 1 night.18-December (09:00 hr) : Visit the landmark of Myanmar – China border and some attractive place in Mong La.Then ride back to Tachileik." END OF TRIP." Looks like this is sponsored by the local M/C club...mostly Harleys.

papa al Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I put this to FB: Papa Al I read about your bike week on ThaiVisa bike forum. Sounds good. I'll try to make it. Question: after event, must I go back to Thailand, or is it permitted to stay a while longer? 1 · 7 ชั่วโมงที่แล้ว 1st Myanmar Tachileik BIKE WEEK The special entry without Visa permit for Bike Week event and the Trip under our arrangement is valid to stay 14 days in Myanmar. Still unclear to me if I would be permitted to ride around on my own for most of the 14 day alotment. I guess I'll ask. ( ...and it shall be given...??) Stay tuned....

papa al Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Al Moye 14 days, great. Would I be permitted to go around on my own after the event? Like · Reply · 1 · 6 hours ago 1st Myanmar Tachileik BIKE WEEK Thanks for your questions. Yes! You can go only in Tachileik area but we won't be take responsibly if you go around on your own. Bummer.

Dutchbike Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Still...... it's an opportunity ( although with Chaperones) to take your own bike into Myanmar. I checked the route on Google Maps and it looks like a nice area. Curious what the penalty is when after the event, riding out of that Tachileik erea and getting caught.

papa al Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Yes I'm curious also, but too chicken to try 'n' find out. I've avoided jail so far in my life.... Edited October 18, 2014 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchbike Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Although I don't like being escorted, it's still the best hassle free / safe option to ride in Myanmar. According to a Dutch travel advice site the border erea with Thailand ( marked red) has active Druggangs and is better to be avoided. I'm seriously considering in going anybody else?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 foreigners are not allowed to be at certain areas in myanmar still. and anyway, you dont want to ride your bike around Shan State! but it looks like a good opportunity to go inside myanmar easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dutchbike Posted October 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2014 So riding with the brothers from the Eastern Eagles MC, buys you a safe guarded passage Unlike some MC's in Europe/USA the Asian MC's seem to be quite easy going, and a friendly bunch of bikers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Okay I'm still planning on doing this event and sponsors require an "international drivers license." I have a Colorado license with motorcycle endorsement, and a 5-year Thai mocy license so I guess I need to get IDL for the Thai DL. I couldn't come up with this info searching forums so maybe need some helpful how-to info...please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbin Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 In Chonburi province had to go to the main licensing office in Chonburi city to obtain international d/l. Will probably be the same in the province you live in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
