Malaysia is one option (I was able to fly out from there without bike) and Cambodia another one.

You could be time-restricted (30 days) in Thailand. There are ways around this, under certain circumstances. I suggest you refer to this RideAsia.net thread for more info regarding Thai storage.

Note that I temporarily stored by NZ-registered bike, for 6-month periods, on three separate occasions in/around SE Asia:
  1. Bali, Indonesia – (Oct 2011 - May 2012)
  2. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – (July 2012- Feb 2013)
  3. Phnom Penh, Cambodia – (April - Oct 2013)
You need to give it a little thought, especially if you’re travelling under cover of a carnet, but it can be done.

Let me know if you need any tips.

Keith

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.
