yes and by car.

Dwang ... weekly affair.

no affair, I somehow prefer peace n quiet life over there. the environment also not bad..

what he meant is going there weekly by car is tiring!

I didn't say tiring. Only you say

bump bump. any documents to prepare when i drive in Thai custom? thanks

wondering if they have hotel room for 4 people?

only your car registration card (a photocopy one will do)

Be sure its registered under the driver's name.. otherwise, have to created a fake Authorisation letter from the owner on the spot

means the car should be driven by my sis? can i drive and she sit beside me?

who is the one driving doesn't matter.

what matters is who is the one go and register

if it's your sister car, and she is going with you, then just ask your sister to go to the counter, give the officer her car registration card and her passport/border pass, and that's it.

BTW, if you going further than Danok, buying insurance is essential but somewan posted earlier that not necessary

not Thai Custom.

It's prepared for Malaysia's roadblock right after DUTY FREE exit gate. Try to speak Malay with the officer, tell them everything complete, where are u from, heading to Thai for what purpose. They wont really look at your geran and passport. haha. So, even the car isn't yours, can drive in. Another friend of mine gave RM5 due to no photocopy geran, also get in. **Applicable for local guy la. We are kedah ppl.

Thai custom never see on your car geran. Don't do stupid things such as showing it to them or something. Just roll down your window and drive in slowly. (No need roll down window also can, i never did cuz my car window is not black color tinted. Just I noted a lot of Thai car did that because most of their car window are BLACK. If not mistaken, there is a sign saying roll down your window. Driving in, there are a lot of bumps. So drive slowly. It's for them to trace who carry or smuggle Petrol or heavy weapons.)

You need to declare at the Custom counter there-lah Their so called "Temporary Import Permit" When I tried years ago driving without declaring, I kena stopped by one of the officer near to the Danok gate and they ask me to reverse my car and declare at the custom counter

oh really? Yours are different maybe, you must be heading to Hatyai or somewhere far and staying overnight. Mine was just few hours day trip only. Mostly at Dannok.

I don't think the customs know that car is going to hatyai or danok kut? well, what my friend did told me that if the thai customs stop you, just tell them u going in makan few hours keluar d, they will let you go in

of coz, it depends on luck. as per the customs there is so damned lenient, most of the time people can just go past it easily.

Yes! No stamp also can.

Everything also can & relax there sometime but once kena unforceen incident or accident.. habis liao.. haha...oh..forgotten that also can kawtim easily wth $$

true. so drive carefully.

Dont drive expensive car. haha.

Any particular format for the authorization letter? Where we can get the letter? I've been driving to southern Thai few times, but some of my friends own used car with previous owner name and not sure about the procedure.
