TLDR : Answer Summary
Driving a car from Italy to Thailand is a challenging endeavor that involves complex logistics including visa requirements, customs regulations, and taxation. Travelers need to secure a passport for their car and obtain visas for all countries they pass through. Significant costs may include high import taxes (up to 200% of the car's value) upon arrival in Thailand and the need for a long-term visa to facilitate the import process. It's important to be aware that currently, importing a used car into Thailand is largely restricted. Many community members suggested it might be easier and more cost-effective to sell the car and purchase a vehicle locally.
