carnet expiring, advice for Thailand & Malaysia needed
Hi HU gurus,
We are currently in India, soon to enter Nepal for 3 or 4 weeks, then fly bike to Thailand, then we have about 2 months to get to Malaysia where we would like to fly bike from KL to Darwin.
My question relates to my soon to expire Carnet. I either need to get it renewed at considerable cost, or try to do the rest of the trip to Aust without a valid Carnet. I will leave Nepal before Carnet expires.
I believe I can enter Thailand without a Carnet - True? But I may only get 1 month entry? Thats OK.
I believe I can enter Cambodia & Laos without Carnet - True?
Can I enter Malaysia and fly bike to Aust without a valid Carnet?
Any idea what will happen when re-entering Aust with my Aust registered bike but with an expired Carnet?
Too many questions I know, any answers and recent experienced would be appreciated.
Thanks
John

Hi,
mmmm well no responses? Maybe everyone is out riding rather than using the internet, or maybe I was too criptic in my questions.... Lets try again
Can anyone tell me if I can enter Thailand & Malaysia without a carnet, then fly my bike out of KL to Darwin also without carnet? I am Australian and bike is Aust registered.
Any info PLEASE,
Regards
John

Rode in those countries last year:
Thailand: No Carnet required
Lao: They stamped my carnet but I leared afterwards that they officially do not stamp it. Same in Cambodia, I believe.
Malaysia: They were actually keen to see the carnet.
Check gt-rider.com
Hope that helps a bit
