Travelling Southeast-Asia with Thai-Bike

We're intersted in buying a registered motorbike in Thailand, but only, if we can travel with it to other countries as well! Could you tell us if we can go with a Thai bike into Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia (or even Indonesia?!) with no or little problems?

Would be very grateful for an answear, Sannbak

Hi Duncan,

thanks a lot for your mail, the gt-rider.com was very informative indeed! If you're interested in the experiences we made in Laos, just have a look at the message board there.

Have a lot of fun on your trip!
Bye Susi

As far as I am aware foreigners are not allowed to purchase bikes/cars/property etc in Thailand. The only way round this is by a Thai national owning the bike[if you know one well enough to trust]. To confirm this e mail David Unkovitch at the Golden Triangle rider site.
Also if you rent a bike you cannot enter Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam with it.

A thai bike can be registered now by a foreigner on a tourist visa, so any one that can get a letter from your embassy verifing your address in Thailand can register a bike in your own name. But the choice here is rather limited for anything other than sports bikes, so be prepared to spend some time if you want a specific model.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
