Hi,
I am in Cambodia and own a Cambodian registered bike. I'd like to take it on a trip to Thailand and am looking for advice from anyone who has crossed the border recently. I would probably be crossing at Koh Kong or Poipet but could use another crossing if some are easier than others.
I have the ownership card for my bike but it is in the name of the original owner.
I also have a receipt of sale from the guy I bought the bike from, plus his receipt from when he bought it from a dealer. This trail does not however go right back to the original owner whose name is on the registration card.
Can anyone advise me on what the requirements are for taking a Cambodian bike into Thailand? I imagine the official rules and what actually happens at the border might not be the same so info on either/both would be welcome.
I have been told locally I can transfer the registration card into my name for around $75 but this will take a month. I don't know how concerned the border officials are about whether the bike is in your own name.
Also, I have a UK motorcycle license but not a Cambodian one or and International one. Again, do the border officials check your license when entering or leaving Thailand?
Thanks
