help: 1st time planning trip through SE asia
I am planning on flying into Bangkok in mid-late December and buying a decent but cheap motorbike and using it to travel to Koh Phangan Island, back to Bangkok, then through Cambodia, into Vietnam staying in Ho Chi Minh then making my way up to Hanoi. When I get to Hanoi I will sell the motorbike before returning home.
That’s the plan. Or at least the basics.
I have never tried to purchase a motorbike before and certainly not in a foreign country. I need all the help I can get. If you know anything about any of these things it would be much appreciated:
-what kind/model of Motorbike I should be looking for and at what price
-where to find such a bike in Bangkok on relatively short notice
-information about insurance and license requirement for a trip like this
-road conditions through the area and local laws and other things I should have to worry about
- border crossings
-what kind of research should I be doing before I leave
-amazing places to see on my trip through South East Asia
-any and all advice for me on my adventure
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!
