runiclas Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Arriving KL airport in May and staying 2 nights city. We then plan to travel by train to Pedang Besar border and enter Thailand with tourist visas. Tourist visas issued by UK embassy. We plan to stay 75 days in total and make our way North. No significant history in Thailand, my partner none. 3 questions. When applying for the Thai tourist visa online will they accept our flights to KL and train tickets to Thailand? We will have return flights from Bkk. Also will we have any issues at Pedand Besar border with tourist visas issued by UK embassy and not issued in Malaysia? Should we bring 20,000 cash each?

Regards Runic Personally, I don't think you need the 20k. Never been asked for it 10 years running. If you have the visa I don't think that stuff matters. You have a visa, the dates do matter though, so always cross at least a day or two early, not on that exact date.
