Recommended Posts

Laos , Myanmar , Vietnam and Cambodia next. But the entry Visa for Singapore registered car is hard to obtain. So far never heard people driving there but heard before many many people have this planned!!! But my opinion, Singapore to Thailand are relatively okay to drive, other than that..........I find that very risky.

 

 

I drove in Laos and Myanmar before using their vehicle, road conditions is terrible. IMHO

 

 

 

Anyone know which country is the furthest that we possible drive from spore? after Thailand?

Ya it's AA

But their timing don't suits and they go Convoy meaning many vehicles going in a big group.

 

I personally think going in a Convoy can be fun, but too many vehicles, not so freedom. My schedule it's free & easy, no booking of accommodations before hand, drive till tired then rest!!

 

:p

Tats partly why i hv not sign up for a driving holiday yet...

Just came back 2wks ago.

When clearing the Thai border, you need to park the car one side and settle everything by foot.

Stamp your passport, get insurance for your car and do up the export license for your car.

No passenger manifest need to be done.

 

Bro, welcum back, whens your next trip :D

I think the PETRONAS CHALLENGE with a team of all 4x4s went all the way by road via Yunnan, Kunming to the Muslim region near tibet.

Frankly, driving at these country can be fun. But hire or use their car. Our cars are not meant for those road. It's adventurous and we don't even to bother of potholes or any uneven road not like driving our own car, even crossing a hump we have to be very careful.

I drove in Northern Vietnam Sapa, fantastic ride, I don't even know where I head to but end up paying for a motorbike lead us back to our resort!!!! It's different type of travel!!!

 

Do it while still young and energetic. If not, next time Lau Kok Ko already, have heart no strength!!!

Ya bro, I intend to stop over either Phetchaburi or Cha Am.

 

8hours, cha'am will be better, hua hin is just another patong without the beach.

we drive up north frequently... just that never go until ipoh..

the last time i tried driving to Penang... my radiator leaked just 50km into Johor.... and it was 12 midnight...

after that i did drive up to other parts of malaysia but never go beyond frasers hill..

Uh okay. But the most IMPORTANT thing to do is pretrip inspection, make sure your V is in tip top condition!!! Tires & brakes are the MOST important!!

i did servicing before my trip...

what i din know was... my previous car's fan stopped when i off aircon...

thinking that the weather was cool and can get more power... i drove into NSHY with air con off.... plus need to queue earlier for 2 hours at Tuas Check point... i think the radiator probably was boiling..

In this case you need to repair every single fault in order to have a peace of mind driving that far!!
