boomerangutang Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 4 hours ago, Cletus said: OP, there are at least 3 border crossing Malaysia-Thailand that I'm aware of. You don't name which one you are referring to, so you don't even know what you're talking about. Based on something you have no knowledge, you start bashing on Thailand, showing the typical colonialist mentality of someone who wants to set his own rules in a foreign country. It's really that simple, just avoid Thailand as a tourism destination, or stop complaining and take it as it is. There're things I don't like in this country, but I don't go on a public forum and start severe criticism based on my western country supposed superiority. Anyway, there's many people like you in Thailand, so that may comfort you. I spoke again with my Brit friend. The crossing was at Sadao. He also mentioned how the people waiting were in the sun, without shade, middle of day. As for me being a Thai basher, according to Cletus: Yes, you can say that. I've been visiting Thailand for a third of a century and have been residing here for a fifth of a century. I can say many good things about Thailand and its people - and can also wax negative. Since you don't want to hear the negative, I'll refrain, so you can relax in your bubble without annoying thoughts coming from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand J Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Southern borders are worst during Malaysian holidays. If you want to know Malaysian holidays , this site is reliable: https://www.onestopmalaysia.com/holidays-2017.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you don't really HAVE to, but it's quicker than France or Switzerland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackThompson Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 32 minutes ago, boomerangutang said: Sadao, 6 days ago. Solution: Use Padang Besar, which has always been a friendlier crossing (for those not bribing their way in). But there are reports they ask to see 20K Baht now, though - so be prepared if coming in on a Visa-entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
