Yes, on overland sphere Facebook too. One rule is you have to enter and leave by the same border post, no exceptions. Scratch Thailand off your list if you want to get into or out of China

We will have to wait and see how the new rules will be practised - they will come into force the 27th this month - but it doesnt look good at all...

Here we go again. China into Thailand
Well,
It all seems to have gone quiet on the subject of vehicle being allowed to enter Thailand, however, the Bangkok Post has just published on the 20th June an article on a new road from China that the Thai authorities are paying for, the article says it is being built to promote tourism from China.(Bangkok Post) (Google New road to link China & Thailand via Nan & Luang Prabang).
It does make me wonder why the Thai's would pay for a new road then say they are going to ban overland vehicles from entering Thailand, I don't belive the Thai's will stop overlanders visiting Thailand.
Has anybody attempted to enter Thailand more recently than our last successful entry at the beginning of June this year.

Encouraging Chinese tourists is OK because they need to return the same way anyway. Not so overlanders who need to get between shipping ports in Malasia and Singapore and China or Burma. Vietnam is not overlander-friendly so that isn't an option

The guys at Rideasia.net seems to be the best updated in this case.
Ext. Customs Temp. Import of Foreign Reg. Bike in Chiang Mai
One thing is sure and that is that this new rules came into enforcement earlier this week - monday the 27th june.
Although it still remain to see how the new rules are interpreted and enforced it seems like they will be similar to the rules in China and Myanmar - you will need to apply for a permit 30 days in advance through a travel agency, you can only travel within the borderprovince you are entering Thailand in or stick to an itinerary - and you will need to have people from the Travel Agency with you at all time. Vehicle can max stay 30 days pr year but possible to extend for another 30 days.
This means free travel in and througout Thailand on a foreign plated vehicle are not allowed anymore. Another country making it difficult for overland travel.
Its just sad and depressing....
Four foreign plated motorbikes are reported stuck in the border between Cambodia and Thailand.
