Thailand introduced mandatory guide and permits laws and regulations for foreign vehicles in 2016. Although these laws were very haphazardly enforced. But I remember stories from travellers that shipped their bikes into Thailand and who havent organised guides and permits in advance - were more or less forced to ship their bikes back without ever riding those bikes an inch in Thailand. However now post-covid it seems these guide/permit rules are not enforced at all. But this is Thailand and you never know whats gonna happen there next week….
If you only plan to ride 6 weeks in Thailand - I would have rented a bike there. Or even bought a bike there. Heaps of great bikes for rent and for sale there.
