Hello,
Cambodia recently changed regulations: foreigners can no longer re-register locally purchased, already registrated bikes on their name (only new/newly imported ones). I am about to buy a 2017 BMW GS 800 from a German expatriate here and would put it on my wife’s name. However she already has her 250cc bike on her name and when we cross borders we always travel together with 2 bikes. So we would come to the Thai/Lao border with 2 bikes on her name, 1 ridden by me and 1 by her. Do you think we can cross the border like this (assuming we have all other paperwork taken care of as per the last Thai regulations) ? A Thai biker here told us that all my wife needs to do is write a power of attorney that she authorizes me to ride the big bike…. Your advice will allow me to decide about buying the BMW or not: I can not buy a bike with which I can’t travel outside Cambodia...
Many thanks,
FN
