Motorbike from Thailand, to Cambodia then Vietnam

[teatimer]

Hi friends, I did a bit of research but couldn't find very many good answers. I have a plan for travelling on a motorbike from Thailand, through Cambodia then into Vietnam. I guess the idea is to purchase a bike in thailand and sell it again in Vietnam. Just wondering if there's going to be any problems going from country to country with Thai plates. Also would there be any issues selling again in Vietnam? Don't really want to be stuck at the border. Should be a pretty great adventure if I can pull it off.

I just googled motorbiking SE Asia and came up with loads of sites with info. Have you tried You tube? Watch the vlogs then read the comments below them for more info.

Thanks for that link Farmer.

I've also been thinking about doing this. I've looked into bike tours which are pretty expensive, but then again so is buying your own bike in Thailand (e.g. my Harley Sportster is A$18k new here and about A$38k in Thailand)

Don’t know about a Bike but definitely not easy to near impossible to cross the border with a car.

Four years a mate and I rented bikes in Chiang Mai and rode down from Chiang Rai through Laos to Vientianne and back through Thailand to Chiang Mai. There was a great deal of paperwork to be done by the rental shop, which they did. Since then the Asean agreements may have made it easier. The problem was stolen Thai bikes being sold across the border. A rental bike may be your answer but you'd have to return it to Thailand rather than sell it.

google GT rider, you should find all the info there.

 

Doubt you'll be able to sell a Thai bike in Vietnam, also the paperwork going across borders can be a ball ache.
