Yeah! Nice one - Thanks for doing the leg work on finding the insurance office. - I will do another report for that border.
It's one of the most inconvenient / ass-about-face border systems, getting through the border then buying insurance, then returning to the border to sort out the ICP paperwork.
Im looking for an agent on the Thai side / Hat Yai, that I can go and do the paperwork the night before. It's all too time consuming on the day.
Happy trails mate and nice to meet and hear your story .. If we can talk about the Minsk another day - I'm still very interested.

I know that checkpoint further down, it was a JPJ stop ? did they check you papers, I thought it was police. To be honest, in the past I have ridden up with in the cover of a pickup, ridden around out of site and avoided stopping.
There are a lot of concern in that area about the movement of 'extremists' across the borders, so there are lots of checkpoints.
And, yes, isn't it great ! .. not even having to get off your bike, just throwing the passport through the window and getting a stamp. Its even quicker some days - getting off and walking to the foot traffic window. If only other nations would take on this system.
