Need Information About Buying A Rickshaw In Asia And Crossing Borders
 

Hi y’all! I’m having this dream/idea for quite a while of buying a rickshaw/tuk tuk in India or somewhere else in Asia (whichever country is the easiest). I want to drive the rickshaw all the way to Morocco, passing through Central Asia and Europe overland.

I’m already doing some research for a while but don’t find any ways to register a tuk tuk in my name as a tourist in one of these countries. This makes it very difficult to cross borders when the registration papers aren’t on my name. Although, I’ve already heard of people that did this previously.

I already have experience with border crossings in Central Asia and am a bit scared that a signed letter of approval to cross border, made by the registered person, is not enough

Do you know of any loopholes, tips, suggestions or share your own experiences to make this adventure happen?

In Thailand you can own a vehicle as a foreigner, but you will need a certificate of recidency. This is not too difficult to get although it might take some time.
I have also heard about some other foreigner that got a Carnet for his thai plated vehicle through the Malaysian motor association - although I dont have any personal experience with that.

For India I dont know much but from what I have read it seems quite difficult.

i live in Karachi city, Pkaistan i asked many people if one can buy a vehicle in pakistan and can cross border to India? everyone said same thing that, can not buy (register) (A Rikshaw or what ever Vehicle) and Pakistani or Indian Vehicle and can cross the border of these 2 countries,both countries dont allow vehicles from other countries (Pakistan/India) yes you can bring your own Bike which should be register in another country and can travel across border.

Tuk Tuk
 

A French man I met in my travels bought a tuk tuk in Thailand and rode it overland and back to France it is in a museum there somewhere now. That was before Myanmar opened up he flew it from KL to Nepal but was actually invited in to Bhutan FREE!!!! Great bloke ... last I saw him he was building a boat in Koh Lanta in Thailand bier
