I've heard from a few mates up in Chiang Mai that the long expected crackdown on rental bikes without numbers/registrations has occurred. Not a big bike in site at all the rental places, and apparently bikes without regos are regularly being impounded. Doesn't exactly seem well-timed for the authorities to decide for the first time to enforce registrations, right in the middle of peak tourist rental season.
So the question is: does anyone know if there is something in the works to make it easier to get registrations on these grey market bikes with no number plates, or are they off the roads forever?
