Has anyone been with a car/motorbike to Thailand recently?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here.

You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

According to the official information available, only Laos, Singapore and Malaysian vehicles can enter Thailand, everything else still needs a guided tour. However I am doing somehow hard to believe that this is really getting enforced. I want to go with my motorbike in February, but I'm not keen to go on a guided tour. Anyone?
Did it about two weeks back at KK border; brought Khmer plated scoot to Thailand, bike didn't have reg card gave border guard 20k riel and he wheeled it through for me & rode down to trat and back without any issues. Same guard wheeled it back across for me next day

Bit if you have reg card you can do it officially without any need for dodgy shit - contrary to what others have said the reg card doesn't need to be in your name, even if that is the official requirement

Trat is the same district. Thailand has the same rule like Cambodia, you can cross the border with limited/minimal/incomplete documents, if you stay within the district. This is done for the ones living next to the border (for themselves they use the border pass, which works like a passport, but limits them to the district of the border crossing)
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over
