Overland through Thailand and Malaysia

[eg9jc]

Hello everyone

Well we set off two months ago now, from England, and have got as far as Nepal in our 1985 110. We thought we had Tibet and china all sewn up but it appears that the trip we organised through caravan Cafe has fallen through, DAMN! Anyway because of this we need some advice on the best way to get our Land Rover to Thailand. We have looked at driving through Burma but it seems like a no go also catching ferries to the Andaman islands then on to thailand seems imposible. we know that it would be possible to ship the land rover by container from Calcutta to port Klang but it means we miss out so much of the drive, so any advice on other routes would be greatly received.

Also we just assumed that to get the land rover into Thailand would just be a matter of showing the Carnet at the border, but is this true? or is it more difficult to drive you own vehicle in Thailand and Malaysia, any info on this would also be greatly received.

Thanks for taking a look and I hope you can throw us some ideas.
