Thanks, will try to go on end of the month

Guys, i need advice from all the fellow travelers here to help me out as i have googled my self thru the inet, i can't seems to find any route directly from penang to betong/ thailand.

As what i found out from friends, i need to travel from penang to baling and then change from baling then to pengkalan hulu. But when i tried to find for routes from Penang or Butterworth to baling, there is no such route.

I just need to double confirm with the experience travelers here that if there is such routes, as i need to confirm it before i go to penang, and i don't want to end up with no bus or transport over there.

Please give me the best advice. Thank you.

You mean you are taking public transport? and need to change bus/taxi at Baling? If by bus no idea.. But if you drive, It's just a straight forward route- Butterworth Kulim Highway> Baling>Pengkalan Hulu and Betong border haha

Jus a few question ned all dai kor help,
1) So drive in Betong still ned the car insurance rite? Ned to get to enter custom or any suggest way i could looking for?
2) If the car reg card not under driver's name but is driver's son or daughter, still ned authorisation letter? If ned got sample of format?
Thx in advance !

1) Up till Betong Town & the Communist tunnel. - No need insurance. Further than that you need.

2) You still need authorisation letter to drive in the car. Just a simple one line will do:

For eg..

I hereby authorise so & so to drive my car . can liao lor

Icic... Thx alot...!

Ya , I wanted to travel by bus. .any idea, drive I know the way..

Cant remember PD. I remember we went to melaka few times, kuantan & hatyai.

Oh. That I didn't join.
I still remember sha116, sharizan and few

i've been to Betong in the 1990s for a daytrip.

Been there once and I don't see the worth to go again. Some more the journey is quite long.

Just exit from PLUS highway to go to Kulim and all the way to the border.

Do they still use MYR there?

Been there recently...the hotel I was at still accepts MYR though the rate more favorable to them at the moment. SIM card shops and restaurants also accepts MYR. Most importantly, clubs also accepts MYR for drinks and tips for ladies
