is it ok for a S4 to ride up straight to thailand meaning not stopping over for the night or so.

If i plan to stop over at KL for a night, can someone agar agar tell me from KL to thailand still need how many hrs?

 

Im planning to go alone... advisable???

When are you going in?

 

If you plan to go in again in the future with the same bike think you better ask your friends about the paperwork needed at the Thailand Customs.

Info on sticky is still accurate, except for maybe price changes for Thai insurance. If any changes to entry requirements, Simon has the function to edit posts as moderator. So no worries on that issue

 

As for flooding, from news reports problem areas are between Johor to KL.

 

Why stop at Malaysia? Just go straight to Thailand its only another 150+Km from Penang.

Insurance is compulsory according to Thai Law. NTUC insurance only covers up to 50Km into Thailand. So if you are just staying at the border its not necessary, but if heading further in to Hatyai for example your insurance will not cover it. Check your insurance contract.

If anything happens along the way and you are not coverd by insurance then good luck to you. If stopped at roadblocks and asked for documents, then not having insurance will be a problem.

 

Leaving Sg at night will allow you to reach Thai by morning along the way you can hop over to Penang Bridge to take photos. It should be better at 5-6 AM coz theres no traffic then.

Heavy Rain whether in the day or at night makes not much difference in terms of visiblity. In fact it might be even safer at late night coz theres less traffic. Only thing is you will be feeling much colder. But then again its another way to keep you alert. :smile:

Go read sticky for cost of insurance!!!

Short term insurance is cheap.

When entering other countries as a GUEST,

paying for such a small amount of money to follow their law

is well woth it. o_O

i think the sticky stated above 50km then need to buy insurance.... betong is only 30+km from the border as stated by others... so is insurance still needed?

im confused.
