Can anyone tell me what the penalties are for leaving your bike past its temporary importation date? Some countries charge €1 per day.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I cant exactly remember the fine, but it has been rised significantly the later years. I think its 10000 baht and then an additional fee pr day of "overstay".
And its so much that I wouldnt even consider doing it. TIT - This Is Thailand. Every rule and regulation can be changed at any time and any rule and regulation can and will be interpreted very different by the local official on duty and will differ according to his or hers mental state of the day.
You can ask your question on GTriders.com or Rideasia.net - two of the biggest netforums for foreign bikers in Thailand for correct answer of the size of the penalties of "overstaying" with a vehicle.
Or you can wait until you pass the border - the size of the penalties will be on the temporary import paperwork that you will have to sign when you cross the border.
As I told you earlier - consider Cambodia.
