Greetings from a CRF250 in Thailand

Hi all,

Currently living in Chiang Mai, north of Thailand and has cruised all over Thailand with my CRF250L during 2017/18. Amazing bike which has taken me through rivers, mountains and seas!

I am now planning my SE Asia trip with the same bike. I would like to go Thailand -> Malaysia -> Indonesia -> Philippines -> Indonesia -> Australia -> New Zealand.

After some initiary research it seems to be hustle to take a foreign bike into the Philippines. I have emailed the PH traffic dep. (LTO) with some questions. But I am starting to wonder whether the best option would be to buy a bike in the countries I plan to visit, but at the same time I do not want to sell my precious CRF...

Perhaps theres anyone in this forum who have travelled SE Asia and have some first hand information, or could point in the right direction.

Have a fantastic day!

I live in Chiang Rai for the winter and was looking at doing the same route later this year or next year?

Sold my CRF250 and Purchessed a Honda CRF1000 to do the ride on.

The first thing we both need to find out, can you even get an ATA Carnet from Thailand.?
Because we are going to need one.

What a coincidence! I plan to do a weeks off road tour in a few days and will swing by Chiang Rai. Maybe meet up for a drink?

I have mailed a few instances and waiting for response in regards to Carnets and details of bringing a Thai vehicle into the mentioned countries.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
