Hey man, thanks very much for your reply! What is a carnet? I'm sorry, I'm no veteran when it comes to all this. I have the paper from the bike importer in Cambodia that I bought the bike from, effectively a receipt, stating VIN, model, purchase date etc. The bike actually was imported from Japan and I was the first the own it in Cambodia. There's further complications though, as you can't be the first owner of a bike as a foreigner in Cambodia, so it was actually registered in my friend's name. He then had to write a letter stating that he transferred ownership to me. I presented this letter and other info at the Cambodia/Thai border and was able to get it across.
What I'm unsure about, though, is if the Thais' condition of letting me in is that it goes out of Thailand ONLY back to Cambodia, or if I'll be able to get it out into Malaysia instead ... and so on and so forth to Australia through Indonesia.
Yes, I've heard Laos is good, although I don't want to spend my whole life doing this trip ;-) Perhaps Cambodia - Laos - Thailand - Malaysia - Indonesia - Australia would be the most complete trip considering my starting point though ;-)
