It will be too costly to do this. First there is all the relevant paperwork to be done for which the Lao authorities will charge a not insubstantial fee. The cost of shipping out of Laos would be a lot more than what the bike is worth.
You first have the cost of transporting the bike either to Bangkok port or into Vietnam to have it shipped across. The cost of shipping itself is in excess of US$2000 or more.
Air freight charges would be expensive also.
