Just park at duty free area! Take a cab into Siam land! Less hassle!

My buddy convoy 4 pickup

Every one 10 bucks in passport, no need show documents, all stamped done

Last time I remember people put some money in passport during stamping. They will ask if no money, but if women give passport to stamp, they will not ask

Last time, long long time already, in Thai border they asked if I have Thai insurance. I said no. I told them I just want to go for 1 night and retuirn the next day just to repair my car. They just let me in.

Still got, put stamped fast, no put also stamped but need all your documents

Darn. Market spoiler. 10baht or RM1 enough dy. RM10..those Thais' immigration can be millionaire now

Good info.

I just back from phuket, krabi & hat yai convoy 3 car with my family. The experience was priceless.

To avoid long queue when entering thai, you guys can enter from kota putra ciq, durian burung kuala nerang. This one is new entrance open on 2010. Very less car here. Best time to enter thai boarder is after lunch hour.

still need to buy Thai insurance if already added into Msia insurance?

I've been to siam 6 times by car
Not remember need to pay entrance fee
New rule ?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Also TS u forgot to add schedule where we need to pay fee per person
Normally during peak hours

I saw the schedule outside but forgot to take pic

When i go in during non peak like 11am, no need to pay anything
But if peak like 12-2pm need to pay per person

Yes, you still need to buy Thai Insurance even know you extend Msia insurance,
The officer got ask for the thailand insurance, they dont even want to see my msia insurance.

I not sure, but I also saw the schedule that need to pay. I didnt take photo as well
And yes, I enter after 12pm

Was wondering, going to Padang Besar side would be the same procedure?

May i ask TM2 and TM3 form i need to print it out myself and fill up or i can get it on the spot when at the custom? Thanks. I going to Krabi and will be going through padang besar.

Each of the CIQ will be same procedure, is just the matters of strict enforcement or not.

Well you can print it out TM2+TM3 beforehand, if you want fill up at thai customs there also can, they will have the form as well.
My advise is print out all those document and fill up yourself 1st, can save your time and hassle.

Noted on this. Appreciated your info. *bookmarked this thread*

for future reference.. any convoy?

The authorize letter no need to have the commissioner of oath stamp. You can even sign on behalf lol just make sure to bring the owner's IC photocopy.

Source: From my experience traveling on June via Padang Besar to Song Khla

this is too troublesome man! not going there and facing this shiat

If I not mistaken, if you were going nearby they can just ignore it.
Because I going to Krabi, furthermore I will travel more than 100km to the destination, so they want it.



Let me tell you my real case,
that time i enter Sg. Golok Immigration, I have the authorize letter as well but without Commission of Oath(COO) Stamp, I still proceed without asking around, at the end the officer there told me I need the stamp to proceed due to far travelling, and they just let me go because that day is holiday, there is no COO working at all.
