Cheers Wayne, that is helpful info. I know of Riders Corner but haven't been there since they changed hands and stopped the Hubb, I never even thought about them renting bikes so I will ask them.(or did you rent from C&P. ?Apparently they dont allow use outside Northern Thailand and are one of those "We keep your Passport" types who dont get my business if possible)
One concern, I might be mistaken, your referred post was 2014?.I imagine a fair bit might have changed since then so I was wondering if you know if this is still possible....There seems to be a lot of info on The Net from 2010-2014 etc but I would hope some-one has been recently.
What paperwork will I need for the bike to be able to cross into Laos?
Many thanks for taking the time to respond.
Andy

Phil owned the place when I did the trip
But It was C&P who I got the bike from, if I remember correctly and I dealt with them direct once in country, Phil just did the initial leg work for me. Maybe their policy has changed, as you correctly stated it was 2014.
They couldn’t keep my passport, due to going into Laos so I left a deposit instead.
But I believe the new owner of riders corner rents bikes. He also is on ( if not owns) https://www.rideasia.net/motorcycle-forum/
Which is a local travel forum and also informative.
I also stayed a rider corner the night before I set off.
If I remember correctly I tipped up with the paperwork from the rental company, my passport, cash and immigration/customs sorted out the rest. I think I but the info on my thread.
If you get my way on, stop in for a brew
Cheers
Wayne

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.
