Visa stamp from south Hat Yai to Padang Besar

Featured Replies

Hello, everyone. Will be doing visa stamp at south Thailand Hat Yai/Padang Besar Malaysia border. What the best way to get from Hat Yai town to Padang Besar border ? Distance is about 60km, so i think go with taxi not the best way, whats about public transportation? anyone had experience? Thank in advance.

I assume you mean a getting a visa exempt entry. Or do you have valid visa with a remaining entries?

If you are on a visa exempt entry now you can get a 30 day extension at immigration for a 1900 baht fee.

There are vans and buses that go to Padang Besar.

These is a mini bus from Hat Yai to Padang Besar border.

Opposite Kings Hotel.

When I went many moons ago it was 40 Baht.

No fee at the crossing.

Did you extend your 60 day entry at immigration?

I have used already 2 entrance, the last second entrance i was last month extend for 30 days and i pay 1800 baht at Bangkok immigration, so now i can not extend my second entrance anymore, i should to go other country and back to Thailand again, i will be next week in Trang and the best way go to down to Malaysia so i chose Pedang Besar, i will do not have problem there for stamp?

Hello!

You can also take a mini-van or a local bus at Hat Yai Bus Terminal, which is locatecis

about 2km south of Hat Yai railway station. You can hop on a Songthaew or a shared

taxi near the railway station. I'd always walk, though.

The mini-van cost you 50B and the local bus 44B a few years ago. The mini-van ran faster

and more frequently than the local bus.

Good luck!

You chose the best crossing. You will not have aproblem as long as your visa is still valid.(enter before date).

The main Sadao crossing can be a problem.
