Can I buy a motorbike in Thailand and travel around the world on it?
Hi, I am an Englishman who has travelled halfway around the world using trains, buses and donkeys, but now I really fancy buying a motorbike and doing the rest of the trip on two wheels.
I may have found a suitable bike, but it is Thai registered. Can anyone tell me what I would need to do to make such a trip possible. The obvious questions that I can think of are as follows, but please let me know if I am missing any. I would be travelling East, ie towards Australia and the Americas.
- Do I need a Carnet?
- If so, where and how do I get one?
- How much will this cost (is it a multiplier of the vehicles worth and how is this determined)?
- Do I keep the Thai plates or do these need to be changed at some stage?
- Once back in England, can I register the bike in England?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
