QUOTE(rifles @ Jul 12 2014, 03:17 PM) Oo.So i can stop at dannok even the bus going to hatyai? How about return trip to KL?I cant seem to find any company offering that route. Just tell the driver you stopping at danok when going down for thai immigration(don't make 1 bus of people wondering what happen to you). Return ticket maybe you can ask the driver or the reception of your hotel where can get ticket. I do notice there as people joining a hyt-kl bus in front of oscar hotel, danok. |

QUOTE(rifles @ Jul 13 2014, 11:17 AM) aw.that kinda risky.. Later cant go back KL Ha ha.. don't worry you got $$, I'am sure got people want to earn it. unless its peak season(sold out). Worst come to worst. Walk back to Malaysia boarder. Then ask every bus driver got slot to KL or not loh atimmigration check. . Or call Alisan Coach or Sir Maju. Ask them about getting down and up at Danok. Do feed back here of your finding. If you are planning to go alone. Just careful of leaches. This post has been edited by dreign: Jul 13 2014, 02:36 PM |

Tea money started for off office hour tradition. It how it begins.
Title say stopped, but article says still valid for off office hours. QUOTE Ringgit tea money stopped at Sadao immigration booths sos: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/asean/1285...igration-boothsSONGKHLA - The immigration police chief has ordered an end to accepting ringgit tea money at the Sadao border crossing, ending a 20-year tradition on arrival from Malaysia. Six immigration officers were transferred from the main southern border checkpoint pending investigation. Immigration police commissioner Natthathorn Prohsunthorn arrived at the border crossing on Tuesday following reports that visitors from Malaysia had to insert two ringgit, about 16 baht, in their passports before presenting the documents to immigration officers for stamps. He told subordinates not to take the tea money and vowed to punish those who defied his order. He told subordinates not to take the tea money and vowed to punish those who defied his order. He said the payment was valid if visitors arrived outside official work hours,between 6am and 9am and between 6pm and 11pm. The Interior Ministry set the rate to pay for the overtime of officers during such hours. The extra payment rule remained unless the ministry changed it, he said. However, some officers demanded the payment even during official work hours. Big signs were already erected at the checkpoint: "No fee is charged when passing this border during office hours". According to sources, tea money inserted in the passports of Thai and Malaysian people entering Thailand from Malaysia through Sadao was a normal practice for about two decades. It became a tradition among frequent travellers including Thai people working in Malaysia. The rate for a one-month visa stamp stood at 10 ringgits or about 79 baht. As at least 5,000 people entered Sadao each day, the tea money amounted to 80,000-100,000 baht daily. |
