Hello recom273,

In fact I'm looking to buy one because it's going to be cheaper and I can modify it , I'm planning 3 months of travel.

So if I buy one (100k thb) and sell it for 80k thb, is 222 de thb/day roughly 7 USD

About the bike gear, thanks for the recommendation, I'm coming with my own complete offroad equipment.

Yes, you know I'm with you on the idea that its cheaper, but for a 3 month tour ?
and like other pointed out, its easier to cross borders with your own bike.

Please don't buy a bike in Cambodia, 100K THB is a lot of money - There are lots of bikes in Thailand, its a richer country, there are more guys doing enduro, and more bikes for sale, you should get better value. You will find plenty more crooks in Cambodia. My first couple of bikes here were a bit of a disaster, No.1 had no book, I knew no better and the seller just told me to go get one from the DLT when I red'd it ( no biggie, was a 10K bike ) the next so many unpaid road tax fines, I was forever running police roadblocks.

You also need to research yourself about where you can take your bike. I forget where I heard about Cambodian bikes, but generally anything Cambodian is generally viewed with suspicion in the rest of SE Asia.

I would join some Thai enduro facebook groups to judge the prices. I'm not really into Enduro bikes, so I don't know what group is busiest at the moment but as its entering the rainy season, the market is very slow at the moment. A lot of Thais just don't ride, just like the European winter.

This would have ben a good hit Kawasaki D-TrackerX 2011 250cc 95,000 Baht - Touring Forums | GT-Rider

The seller was in Pattaya, where the DLT is a little more used to registering bikes to westerner.

Have you also built into your calculations that, should you decide to buy in Thailand, you will need at least a 3 month multi-entry visa and you will also need to rent an apartment ( in order to get the certificate of residence ) in order to transfer the name, this means a deposit + x amount of rent upfront ( not expensive, you might find a landlord to hook you up for 6-9K ) ?

Good luck with everything and I hope you enjoy your trip

Hello!!

Thanks for the help again,
