hello (this is max, i just had to register a new username cause i forgot
the password),
We are way into our big trip now! we did malaysia, thailand, laos, 2 months
on the road so far, 7000km on the bikes, no crashes, no bribes, all good
we're about to leave lao tomorrow morning and want to spend the next 2
weeks in cambodia, then go all the way back to malaysia.
now i really hope somebody can give us some advice regarding cambodia:
we know we can get visa on arrival in cambodia for 20 usD.
I assume it is possible to enter at the lao/cambodia crossing and leave at
a cambodia/thai, is this correct?
I've spent the past hour reading into how to get the bike in, looked at
this forum and at gt-riders.com but still, i'm not sure what to do - should
we try to get a temporary import slip? or just ignore that and just get the visa?
Should we try to buy a local license somewhere, or just don't worry about
it and pay the fines?
and lastly, what about motorbike insurance? we are currently on a 1 month
lao insurance and still have thai insurance and malay aswell (wierd, i
know...), but i guess both won't cover us in cambodia, so what can we do?
just hope for the best?
thanks for any help
max and theresa
ps: i've promised to do some ride reports and i'll do, once we get home!
there's no point doing it on a dial up connection somewhere deep in lao -.-
