You have to be staying overnights.

But I don't think they catch it tightly.

A car has a lot of space to hide.

Unlike Langkawi, crossing by checkpoint, you gotta open up your bags and show your previous ferry tickets to prove you have stayed overnights.

Going to Hatyai, you'll need to fill up a temporary car import permit at Thai immigration.

If around Danok, no need.

Bear in mind with this, else if you got roadblock in Hatyai, you would be fined.

It's just a sheet of paper, just queue and get it.

I personally don't like to shop outside, prices are expensive sometime if you don't have nego skills.

As for me, I like to go to Tesco Lotus. It's air conditioned, price is fixed, no worries for being cheated.

Basically you can get everything there.

There's one in Sadao, one in Danok.

Go further, there's one before Hatyai.

Big C also, only at Hatyai.

is there a bus service to hatyai and back?

There are many taxi services between BKH & Hatyai for sure. Bus Service should be avilable at Danok just after the Thai border side. The buses there are converted pic-up truck wth wooden/steel seats & canopy. They called this "Songthiew" or bigger version of Tuk-Tuk.

I last took taxi from Chanloon to Hatyai ~ 15yrs ago.. so not sure the price right now. Easier just drive in if you have your own car ..Procedure to drive in on pg1

there is Van service from Dannok-Hatyai
the stop is in front of 7-Eleven after Sadao Immigration Checkpoint
the charges is around 60-65bath per way.
you just need to bought the ticket and wait for the van full, then they will go..

if driving to Hatyai.
must sure you get the import/export form from thai customs.
otherwise when u meet a road block or checking, you will be in deep shit. first is the language issue.
not to forget is Car Insurance.

cos lately the security checking is very tight there. so everything must be well prepared and becareful while driving.

enjoy your trip there.

-Welcome to Amazing Thailand-

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

sorry if late reply.
FYI Langkawi duty free goods are the cheapest in the WORLD!

really? come back if you been to labuan before..

Dunhill Red per carton in Labuan how much?

last year is rm36..langkawi how much?

Hmmm danok thread derailed to duty free price chech liao

It is still relevant.

This is Danok and Bukit Kayu Hitam's thread.

What does BKH has to offer besides duty free?

Only single 1 outlet- the Zone.. nothing to shout about. And this The Zone also almost everywhere in most entry & exit points haha

Actually there are four Duty Free in BKH, The Zon, Naluri Aman, Five Star and another one.. But of course the biggest and most famous are The Zon.

The rest mostly just to cater those tour busses.

Oh.. my bad.. Din know they already open up for more palyers dy.. long tome ago only 1.. That time only 1.. nowadays, I dun stop at the complex anymore haha.. just from Msian CIQ complex to Thai side & that's all
