[INDENT]Hi,
I'm going to Laos soon and I'm trying to decide weather or not to bring my bike with me.Is it worth all the hassle of the paperwork and might I be better off to just take the bus and rent a bike by the day when I want to take a trip,

First of all i would like to know the exact paperwork involved.

I have a newish D-tracker 125cc,it's in my missus name because we weren't married when I bought it.In Chiang Rai you can't buy a bike on a tourist visa or get a drivers license.
I would have to check with the amphue because I now have a marriage visa.

So presuming I get the green book in my name and a Thai drivers license.Which will cost me a few bob,having to stay in a hotel in the city overnight and all.
Are there any other costs,is there some motorbike international paper you need as well,are there extra charges at Laos emigration for taking a bike with you.

Is the Thai drivers license good in Laos.

Any advice would be welcome.As you can see I'm not very well informed.
Thanks
