Trip around the world starting in Southeast Asia.
Hi guys!!! I have this dream of riding a moto across the world. I wanted to start in Thailand, go through Laos, Cambodia and uo through Vietnam and then north and explore China before heading west. I have a great travel bike f 650 gs 2009(800cc) but after reading about travel restrictions in Burma, Thailand(recent) and China(dont know how long that has been) I am doubting wether that would be worthwhile for me. I am therefore considering buying a motorcycle perhaps in Thailand and still carrying through with the trip. Does anyone have any advice on a trip such as this? If I buy a motorcycle in Thailand will I be able to take it through the other countries without the hassels alloted for regular "imported" vehicles? Does it make sense to buy a bike in each of the countries I visit in turn? Do these ridiculous guide enforced passages extend to other countries in the region? Laos? Vietnam?
Also does anyone know why these countries are so hostile to motorcycle travellers? I am sure there is some kind of reason that makes sense. The rest of the civilized world lets you get around as long as you respect the law and have a carnet and your docs in order, while host countries benefit from tourist money...
Appreciate your help in advance!!!
