Original Thai reg. motorcycle "green books" needed at Chiang Khong border crossing
Chiang Khong, Thailand international border crossing with Huay Xai, Laos.
Most of us bring them anyway, although i've only ever had to show copies. Chiang Khong international border crossing is now insisting on all original Thai registered motorcycles to have their "green book" registration available at the border for crossing into Laos.
We just had a tour group at the border with only copies and were denied exit from Thailand. The green books had to be put on the minibus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong.
This is bad new for the motorcycle rental companies in Chiang Mai as customers only leave a 20% deposit for the motorcycles and are going foreign with the motorcycles they rent.
