Motorcycle import permit Thailand
I am starting to plan for a tour to Thailand for 2 to 3 months.
I am a Malaysian and have a Malaysian registered motorcycle.
Plan to enter Thailand and go from South Thailand to North Thailand.
I did Northern Thailand in 2022 on a rented bike and had a blast.
I found out that entering Thailand from the land border, you only get a 30 days import permit for the vehicle. Is there a possibility to get at least 60 to 90 days or longer?
As Malaysian is part of ASEAN, I don't need a visa to enter Thailand but it is also for 30 days only.
I plan to do Thailand in 2 sections. Somewhere between 30 to 45 days mark, leave the bike in Thailand and then either fly/take the train to Penang, Malaysia and then fly back to Kota Kinabalu. Then go back to Thailand after a few weeks to pick up the bike and complete the tour.
How can I get a longer vehicle import permit in Thailand? And can I also get a longer entry stamp for myself?
I also have to figure out where to store the bike for a few weeks if I decide to pause the tour for a few weeks.
Thanks
