Popular Post StayinThailand2much Posted April 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) "Travelers must have a fully paid hotel reservation confirmation for the arrival date which must include an RT-PCR test, ATK test kit, and airport pick-up. Thailand Pass must still be completed and approved prior to arrival in Thailand." From another post. - So, did the Malaysians in Sadao need to follow these requirements, and how did it work out with the test, as many Malaysians who travelled overland often used to come just for a day trip.

Last week's Bangkok Post reported Malaysians would be entering under 'Test and Go', at Sadao, but didn't go into any specifics. Edit....reading this more detailed report it appears the same requirements as landing at Suvarnabhumi. https://www.lifestyleasia.com/kl/travel/destinations/driving-to-hat-yai-things-to-know-about-the-malaysia-thailand-land-border-reopening/ Edited April 4, 2022 by edwinchester 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post aussiexpat Posted April 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Except only 107 Malaysians knew to apply for a Thai Pass first "THOU SHALL NOT PASS. That’s the message some northern-bound Malaysian travelers received when they attempted to drive their cars into Thailand on yesterday morning, only to find they’d forgotten the most important thing: you STILL need to register for Thailand Pass In advance." https://thethaiger.com/travel/travel-news/breaking-malaysian-travelers-bewildered-by-thailand-pass-as-southern-land-border-reopens Edited April 4, 2022 by aussiexpat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which he/they really don't have power or influence on everyday lives - never have. Just need to be a little more observant to the reality of how folks are getting on and how they always have......without the proposed and somewhat make believe interventions.

bluecolour Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 My friend in Malaysia inform me that the cost just to cross the border is at least 8,000 baht, so who want to spend that for a day or two day trip? This is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyk Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) I lived in Kolok for a while. I bet the Malaysian young, men were about to bust.... haha But, when I was there you could bypass immigration with little trouble. I wonder how it was during the pandemic. Anyone living on the border there have a comment? Edited April 4, 2022 by garyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ridiculous. In the good old days, such charges were never incurred or even considered. But then......in the good old days, there weren't such convoluted and repressive long term visa rules and regulations - and all the other criminally-driven added surcharges and policies to most everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
