However, I think hiring will be too expensive over this amount of time. My basic concern is as above; buying, and is it necessary to register to cross borders, and will you get charged for every day you take the bike out of the country? This sounds daft to me but I read that if you leave Thailand on thai plates, you get charged for every day you had that bike out of the country (if you return i suppose). Thanks

I would recommend checking out following two locations if you want to buy.
Big Honda Thailand / Honda Worldwide | Thailand
Kawasaki Thailand Rama 9 / Kawasaki Thailand
Both bikes are 249CC, but I think Honda is about $600 or 17000 Baht less
Both locations have English speaking sales person so you should good and dealer should take care all the paper work, insurance and getting your green book for you. Kawasaki did for me. They only take cash!!!
They don’t care who you are long as you have the money. Make sure you have address in Thailand you can use.
I don’t think you can cross the border with a rental bike without a guide but personnel bike is very easy all you need is following documents to cross border.
• Bike registration
• Bike insurance
• Bike title (green book)
• Passport
• Bike Visa
• Two passport photo if you don’t have visa
• Cash. I can’t speak for other countries but Cambodia only take US$
You should really go visit this web site for additional information’s.
