Original post
Bonjour,
je suis marié avec une thaïe et je souhaiterai pouvoir utiliser ma moto en Thaïlande, je ne l'utilise presque pas en France, J'ai cherché une varadero sur les sites honda thaïlandais, mais n'en trouve pas. Pourquoi cette moto? parce qu'elle me convient tout à fait : confort, maniabilité, puissance, etc
J'ai eu un accident grave il y a quelques années, et n'arrive pas à passer le circuit lent au permis moto, je me déplace des vertèbres et le bassin, alors que je fais de la moto 125 depuis 10 ans.
Alors j'ai acheté une varadero 125, et j'aurai souhaité l'avoir en thailande puisque je n'en trouve pas là-bas.
Merci d'avance pour les infos

Avec les taxes que tu va payer (200%), il vaut mieux que tu l'a vende en France et que tu rachete une autre moto
style honda dream 125 la bas. tu n'as pas besoin d'un Vardero en Thailande

vivre ses rêves....
Première chose, t'habites en France ou en Thaïlande ?
Parce que depuis la France, c'est plutôt galère. Remarque, si tu as de la belle-famille sur place, il pourront toujours la réceptionner.
SI tu es en Thaïlande, un peu moins compliqué (quoi que...😕)
J'ai un pote qui à importé sa moto à Bkk. C'est long et plutôt cher donc si le prix de base de ta moto n'est pas cher, mieux vaut voire sur place si tu ne trouves pas un modèle qui conviennent à tes soucis de vertèbres... Sinon, le plus simple est de passer par un déménageur international (tape movers sur google et le choix s'offre à toi). Il te diras exactement ce dont tu as besoin pour envoyer ta moto à l'autre bout du monde. Appelle plusieurs compagnies car il se font une sacrée concurrence entre eux. Annonce que tu as déjà une offre chez X et que tu aimerais savoir si c'est pareil chez eux. Le prix peut ainsi baisser de 30%....
Bonne chance

comme les autres c'est ce que je viens de faire, vendre ma moto, et en racheter une autre, trop de tracas 🤪, , puis tu vas avoir un énorme problème, c'est les pièces détachées, ou introuvables ou très cher d'occasion,
il y a une moto pas mal, que les amis la police ont adopter ( c'est une référence non??) la honda, tiger, 125

Merci pour les infos, concernant la négociation du transport et trouver les transporteurs, pas de soucis, ce qui m'intéressait c'était de garder ma moto qui a été préparée (moteur/puissance, assise et hauteur), sans compter que c'est une moto très confortable, pour faire de long trajet, fiable, et qui permet vraiment de sortir des sentiers battus sans être obliger de passer le permis A(qui me pose des problèmes au niveau du circuit lent du plateau).
C'est une trial, et c'est sa configuration et position de conduite qui me va bien, sans compter que le moteur a été préparé pour qu'elle serve de véhicule de liaison sur les bivouacs de Rallye raid telque le Dakar, elle était charger à l'arrière de mes camions d'assistances.
(Cylindrée actuelle : 170cc, avec pièces d'origine HONDA, Bi-cylindre, très coupleux et efficace, 140 KMS/H à deux et chargé de sacs et top case, mais le plus important le couple à bas régime, qui permet de maintenir une bonne moyenne sans faire d'excès de vitesse et pouvoir avoir assez de CH pour doubler).
Si je peux trouver une moto de ce genre en Thaïlande avec autant de couple et confortable, pourquoi pas?
Comme c'était une honda, et qu'honda est leader en Thaïlande, je pensais que ce serait facile.
Cordialement.

Ne t'inquiètes plus pour tes vertèbres, je connais un chauffeur pour te conduire où tu le désires😏


tu peut avoir la meilleur moto au monde, que sa ne change en rien, la complexité de l'administration thai, , , mais bon<< en amour on ne compte pas, >>>
une fois je suis passé dans les parking de la douane de klong thoi a BKK, parking ou s'entasse des milliers de véhicules en tout genre pour un bon moment ........, , j'ai vite compris que on me me prendras pas a ce jeux la, 😉
hehe baroudeur, j'ai faillit en acheter un, ( triporteur ) mais pas évident a conduire, j'ai laisser tomber, , , , , ,

Je ne trouve pas de photos de la tiger honda 125 cc, ou bien je passe mon permis de motos en Thaïlande, peut-être plus facile, et je pourrai acheter un trial de plus grosse cylindrée.
@ + et encore merci pour les infos.

J'ai les permis moto 125, VL, PL, bateau... Faut il repasser tous les permis ou bien font ils un transfert du permis international en permis Thai.
Si je peux utiliser mon permis poids lourds en Thaïlande, j'aurai essayé de trouver un camion 4x4 pour en faire un camping car, afin de visiter la Thailande de fond en comble hors des sentiers battus et rester libre de m'arrêter où je veux et le temps que je veux. Ma femme thaïe aime bien le camping car, et moi le côté baroudeur, c'est un bon compromis et en plus, le fait de voyager avec ce style de véhicule en Thaïlande permet de côtoyer plus les thaïs de part leur curiosité, quoiqu'il est facile de vivre avec eux quand on sourit et qu'on les respecte. Je suis vraiment amoureux de ce pays et fuis les farangs irrespectueux ainsi que les villes à touristes.

si tu est résident, tu dois passer le permis, mais ce n'est que une formalité,

l'inspecteur me dit, c'est votre moto .. ?? oui, depuis quant vous l'avez,
depuis 2 ans, , , , , , bon voici le permis, , , , , , , 😉
oui je suppose que un camping car, sa doit être exotique pour les thaïes, , ,

je ne suis pas encore résident, je prépare mon installation une partie de l'année seulement. Je souhaite pouvoir visiter la Thaïlande, avec une famille, c'est un peu plus difficile de camper. ma femme me prend pour un fou mais elle rigole bien, donc comme elle aime bien le fait d'avoir sa maison sur le dos comme l'escargot !!!!!
j'aime être libre et ne pas avoir de contrainte, même si les guesthouses et autres logements peuvent être sympas, ce qui n'empêche pas d'allier les deux, surtout ne pas avoir d'impératif pour l'heure.
Et puis possibilité de louer mon véhicule à des amis ou autres qui voudraient barouder, et un de mes beau-frères peut être guide, cela permet de leur apporter des revenus supplémentaires.
Je ne suis pas d'accord de donner de l'argent pour en donner, mais apporter des moyens qui leurs permettent d'en gagner
archi4X4
si je le loue à d'autres personnes que je connais, il faut que je reste dans les 3T5 maxi ou que je fasse passer le permis PL à mes beau-frères et qu'ils soient chauffeurs compris avec la location.

je n'ai pas trouvé de photos de la HONDA 125 tigre, camping car idéal ==> autonomie pour 5 places avec 2 à 3 lits superposés + 1 grand lit permanent, rack pour transport petite moto ou quad et vélos
archi4X4
sympa la moto, les motos ne sont pas bridées en Thaïlande, où trouve t'on la fiche technique(puissance etc)?
Vous habitez en permanence en Thaïlande? J'aimerai beaucoup, mais pour l'instant, nous sommes sur la bretagne pour être près de mes parents qui sont âgés et des soucis de santé, avec l'accord de ma femme thaïe bien entendu. Elle a choisi de rester avec moi en France, d'où le mariage, pour m'aider à m'occuper de mes parents. Sinon nous serions en Thaïlande depuis longtemps. J'avais noirci la France au maximum pour qu'elle choisisse en connaissance de cause, finalement tout se passe bien et on rigole surtout.

il y a une moto pas mal, que les amis la police ont adopter ( c'est une référence non??) la honda, tiger, 125
A BKK, la police a des Tiger Boxer 200cc et qui coutent moins de 60, 000 baht.
http://www.motorcycle.in.th/article.php/The-Tiger-Boxer-200-Thai-Mystery-Bike
On en trouve d'occasion entre 25 et 30, 000 baht.

Les flics sont devenus malins : ils se sont apercu qu'avec une 125 c'etait pas facile de courir après des autres 125. Alors ils ont pris des 200. Trop fort 😉
Au poste de Chokchai 4 ils en ont tous une maintenant, elles sont flambantes neuves alignées sur le trottoir et ils en sont fiers. Par contre je ne sais pas s'ils les utilisent car je n'en ai jamais vu un seul rouler avec !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,

Hey everyone,
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip? I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Thanks! 🙂

Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Thanks, friends, if you’ve got any suggestions.

Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before: - Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Thanks, and long live the Nam! !

Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees. Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands. Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way). Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan. Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide). Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre. Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island. Day 10 – Head to Semporna. Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai. Day 15 – Bohey Dulang. Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous. I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing. I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture. But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary. If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Thanks for your opinions/answers! Marc Lamarre

Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

Hello,
We’re a couple looking for a driver for 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam in April.
Best regards,
I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Thanks!

I’ll be on a cruise on January 11, 2027. We’re stopping in Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My).
I’d love to see something other than the city—anyone have recommendations or a guide for 6-8 people with pickup at the port?
I’d really like to visit some rice paddies.

We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.

Hi there,
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai? Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai. My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Thanks for your tips! DrSnuggle

Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
Hi there
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok: No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna: From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄). Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM. Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau: Found this via AI—is it legit? No online booking, as far as I can tell. Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly???? And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Thanks for any tips—I’m stuck!

Hi everyone. As I’m planning my trip for next winter, I’m looking for hotel suggestions in Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Bohol, and Siquijor. The ones I had in mind seem to be fully booked (unless it’s too early?). For those familiar with the area, is it easy to find accommodations on the spot in January/February? I’m specifically looking for hotels with a pool, beachfront, air conditioning, and easy scooter rental nearby. Thanks for your tips!

I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning March 24: Phnom Penh March 25: Phnom Penh March 26: Depart for Kampot March 27: Kampot March 28: Depart for Battambang March 29: Battambang March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap March 31: Siem Reap April 1: Siem Reap April 2: Siem Reap April 3: Siem Reap April 4: Siem Reap April 5: Departure
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.

🙂 Hi everyone!
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks everyone, take care and stay happy! ❤️

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts) August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar August 17: Rammang Rammang August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)
