thai vehicle entering thailand

[davjensteph]

Hi,,,anyone been to malaysia recently by car thru sadao....last time i went [april 2019] i went thru the thai side,got to malay immigration,parked up went into jpj to get my tax disc,they told me i had to get insurance first,i asked where is the office,go through immigration down the highway first set of traffic lights turn left and there was the office,,i got insurance then had to go back to the boarder through immigration to the jpj office to get my tax disc..

it was a pain getting back thru immigration having just gone out...you have to go back through because the office want to see my car and check window tint..then when i got the disc i had to exsplain again to immigration my passport had already been stamped...what a pain...

so my question is,do i still have to do that or is there an office selling insurance inside before going thru immigration..or can i buy it on the thai side then just go into jpj before going thru immigration..thanks in advance.Dave.
