Chinese Motor Bike License
Hi Li,
I have a legit Chinese License and want to travel to Thailand and Laos, what are the other documents you need to travel to these countries apart from my passport? Did you translate your Chinese Driver License?
Best,
Simon

I suggest you go out through Mohan Port in Yunnan, China, so that the Chinese customs will not embarrass your motorcycle. It is very troublesome to go out by motorcycle at other ports

The last post on this thread was January 2023. Anyway I'll post hoping someone who is familiar with Guangzhou CAN international airport can provide some information.
I am flying from my home airport BKI Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia to KIX Kansai on end October and return KIX/BKI on mid November.
The flight will transit at Guangzhou Baiyun airport CAN, Terminal 2.
Carrier is CZ China Southern Airlines.
I have a 10 hour layover at CAN on my outward leg and return leg the layover at CAN is 21 hours.
CZ says I am eligible for free accommodation at CAN airport on my outward leg but am not eligible for the return leg which is a massive 21 hour layover.
Need to find a transit hotel airside at CAN airport for the long layover. The Aerotel Guangzhou is still closed. Prefer not to go landside if possible.
Appreciate any recommendations and information.
Thanks

From what I have gathered, at CAN airport there is no accommodation at Terminal 2 airside.
There are sleeping pods at Terminal 1 but I understand it is landside not airside which means you still have to clear immigration.
If I have to clear immigration I might as well look for a hotel which provides shuttle bus service for pickup and return nearby since I have a massive 21 hours layover.
