Hey Graeme, I will send you the regulations I have from Thai customs. You will notice it says nothing about a guide.
The new regs are already in effect.
The link you refer to has no official content stating a guide is required.
Sorry for being positive, but I think somebody has started this idea of a guide from hear say!!

I will start my trip from Melbourne, up to Darwin.
Fly the bike to Surabaya Indonesia.

Hi Spiro & all on this thread
I am also planning to cross Myanmar mid April into Manipur & leave Perth in a fortnight to enter Thailand from K L before March (just in case its all true about the guide rules). Am thinking of heading straight up to Mae Sot to organise crossing if i dont receive replies from my tour enquiries by then.
Hope to visit Cambodia & laos then back to Mae Sot by mid April
Will be active on H U from now on. May start own thread for April crossing.
Hi Kev,Barbera & jason. Hope you're having fun

Bonnieo, I find your post a little difficult to understand, so I apologise If I have it wrong. But if you havn't met the 2 following criteria then you will need a guide to cross Thailand and they are essentially the following.

1:- You must have applied for your Thai permits before Dec 23rd 2016
2:- You must enter into Thailand no later than 28th feb 2017.

If you do not meet 1 or both of these regs, then I repeat. You will need a guide and it is quite expensive.

If I were to do this again, I would fly the bike out of KL to either Nepal or India and bypass both Thailand and Myanmar. Both, far cheaper and easier. But thats me. We are just lucky that we scrape into Thailand before the end of Feb 2017.

Thailand -Myanmar
Hi
I'll be travelling on my SUV and plan to be in Thailand between 17 ~ 22 March. I'm entering Thailand from Malaysia, and then heading into Myanmar and India.

Anyone travelling during those periods, let us hope good to meet you.

Jason
Hi Jason
I entered Thailand on 22nd feb & am presently trying to organise Myanmar crossing for same time in March. I figure you just entered Thailand yourself. I am presently in Prachuap Khiri khan & wonder if you have finalised Myanmar plan yet?
