Your time and effort insourcing this information and being part of the process is greatly appreciated!
I do have one question for you: Do I require a Carnet de Passage for Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam or Loa?
Your guidance in this matter would greatly appriciated.

Thx Wayne for your feed back. I diffidently agree with your comment regarding the use of this document. However, yesterday I received from JamesCargo (Heathrow UK) whom I've been corresponding with, the following information from their Thai agent:
. We request Photo of bike, + ATA Carnet + Copy of Passport to verify with customs before arrival.
. Upon arrival, our customs broker will prepare importer entry and submit to customs.
. Upon cargo releasing, our customs broker and customer will meet the customs officer at airport and show original docs, then the bike can be released.
My plan now is to reach out to the agent and question their information source, as you can see by their response they have not included any information regarding the new regulations that took effect 27 June 2016.
From my research there seems to be allot of unknowns regarding the use of the Carnet in some countries who are unaware of their own regulations.

Many thanks for the info.
So you can travel in one border and out of another? As I read somewhere that the permit was only valid for the same province - must have been sorted now. So based on the above (as long as the application is made) overland travel through is still acceptable.

No Carnet required for Thailand
Hi Wayne,
You were absolutely right in your first statement you do not require a Carnet for entering Thailand, that is for certain, I have spoken with the Carnet head office in Switzerland and they said that Thailand is not one of the countries that they cover.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
