Hello GT rider forum
I am interested in buying a bike in Thailand and using it to travel around Asia but I have found this looks extremely difficult
I have read the Buying a bike page on this site - and still have questions - I am a complete travel noob - I have never done any of this before and I am very much bureaucratically challenged.
Australians get a 30 day visa on entry - is it possible to get a bike with this visa? - as I am unable to obtain the longer, 3 month visa.
Does anyone know any bike shops that specialize in selling to foreigners and can stream line the registration process? The buying a bike page mentions that there a bike shops that can get it done without the long visa. Does anyone know of a specific bike shop that can confirm that they provide this service? I would be willing to pay a premium for any help a bike shop can provide.
I have a friend living in Thailand - what kind of forms do I need to obtain to use his address to register the bike? I read somewhere I needed a statutory declaration- is that all?
Are there any Auzzies out there who have done this recently and can offer advice?
I am not interested in tours or renting as I want to cross borders and travel at my own pace. The bike needs to be completely legit or my travel insurance is invalid and I more than likely wont be able to cross borders.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
