You don't need a carnet for Thailand, Cambodia or Laos at last word - BUT it does make it MUCH easier - it's relatively simple and inexpensive from ADAC, so I would recommend it.

Read the shipping page for lots of info on shipping. Lots of shipments to Bangkok, but not from Germany - but you will get good arrival info.

Air shipping to Bangkok from Germany shouldn't be hard - check Lufthansa - they fly bikes everywhere.

Also search the HUBB - there is LOTS of info here, you just have to do a search for it. Searching on "Laos" for instance gives good info. "Laos carnet" also. Also "Golden Triangle Rider". Other search criteria should be obvious. It's all there!

Papers needed will just be your standard bike registration documents, and drivers licence. An international drivers licence is probably worth getting from ADAC.

Try this guy called Barry Crawford,he is an American working in Bangkok. We found him to be very helpful when we freighted our bikes and I am sure he could put you in contact with his German agent.
