All,
I just had some alarming information about the new laws for importing bikes into Thailand. The story is that only authorized bike dealers can import bikes now, Apparently all the authorized bike dealers in thailand went to the government and submitted to the government that they were loosing to much money due to people importing bikes in. Well it got passed, and now it costs a Authorized dealer 1 million baht per shipment, as of 28th of february, meaning if you bring in one bike, it will cost you 1 million baht extra cost on top of your bike.. Or if you ship in 20 bikes in one shipment, it will still cost 1 million baht. I have spoken to many guys in bangkok that have imported many bikes in before, and they say its true and that there are lots of bikes stuck now. Anyone know about this also??
