The Facts on Thailand and Carnet
The facts are Thailand is not a member of the Carnet and I have had this confirmed by the head office of Carnet in Swizerland ,therefore if you overstay or default in any way Thailand can not claim against your Carnet, this also go's for Cambodia and Laos, however, if you show your Carnet at a border between any of these countries this can simplifies the procedure for the customs officer and he/she can get on with watching his or her TV program, on the other hand this makes it more difficult for the next overlanders, so my advice is don't show your Carnet, with only one exception the border between Laos and Cambodia (Strung Trang) the Cambodian Officer there will not let you into Cambodia if you don't.
If you need any advice about crossing into Thailand PM me and I will try to help.
