Thanks guys. I'm back in kl safely.

Your insurance thingy and ride all ok?

Guys..

Haven't been there since late last year.Planning on going next week.Any changes on the price and the place??

Any info is much appreciated.

Hi there.
Can i go to the duty free without passport?

not much changes at dannok.
just the price slightly compare to late time , due to currency exchange rate.
and for those like to go disco...pay extra attention, lately a lots of 'operasi' there..so becareful guys..

other than that nothing special...


meanwhile, if you are going to duty free..you just need to told the immigration you are going to duty free and show him your i/c can ade... but don't try to cross border, cos lately a lots of checking by thai immigration officer before you leave thai... if you are unlucky, standby 300bucks la...hehehe...

Cheers for the response.

What do you mean by ''operasi" at the disco??

Bump bump. Anybody went to Danok during Malaysia Day long weekend?

Yea. I went .. anything special ?

Me and my wife are planning to go to Bukit Kayu Hitam. We plan to stay in GM Hotel in Changlun.
We would appreciate if you could help us with info on the following :
Can we drive to the customs area and park?
Can we then walk across with our international passport and shop in Thainland - all walking distance ?
Is it safe?
What is interesting in the nearby areas?
Am interested in things which is not available here - places for shopping?
Food?
Please help us ...we have never been there before.

1) yes, you can drive and park at the customs area. there is a tax free mall in between the two countries where you can park too
2 ) yes, you can walk across with our international passport
3 ) it is generally safe
4 ) The town you are in will be Danok, it is adviseable to go to Haadyai for shopping too as Danok is a very small town

can we do a day trip to hatyai?
anything interesting to purchase in danok or hatyai?

Guys, just curious, the duty free shops there sell tobacco products like cigars and also alcohol?
Is Danok or Langkawi duty free goods cheaper?

That duty free shop monopolised by only 1 co. i.e The Zone. You can find them in al entry & exit points in M'sia inc Langkawi ..Price should be the same wth Langkawi branch. or very close..Cheaper than AIprot duty free shops & airport the zone outlet for sure

Danok a bit expensive, due to its transportation cost is higher.

Yes. They do sell Tobacco/cigars/alcohol. Go there no need to bring passport. Just tell immigration that you wanna go Duty Free will do. Sometime need to flash ID though.
