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.
