Thailand/Laos - new rules for temporary motorcycle import as of first of June 2016
I´ve heard, there a new rules in place for temporary import of motorcycles to Thailand and Laos.
What I have heard about the new Thai procedure:
- you need a permit of the Department of Transport, which you get through an agency in advance of your arrival
- the permit specifies the border crossing for entry and exit, the provinces you are allowed to travel to and fixed dates or periods for entry/exit
- 30 days maximum stay
- 6000 THB costs
I found a offical announcement, that speaks of 500 THB, but that might be only a fraction of the total costs, since the agency will not do it for free.

Seems that Laos has introduced simular rules.
Can anybody confirm this?
Anybody experiences with the new rules?
