#GetDiscountNotRelyingOnLuck Padang Besar Railway Station is a station located in Malaysia, adjacent to the Thai-Malaysian border. This station is used as a connecting point for travel between Thailand and Malaysia. You can travel by train by changing trains and checking immigration and going through customs at this station from both Thailand and Malaysia. For me, I traveled from Kl.sentra. Kuala Lumpur by Malaysian train at 10.41 am (9.41 am Thai time) and arrived at Padang Besar Station at 5.00 pm (4.00 pm Thai time). I went through immigration and customs on both the Malaysian and Thai sides to connect to the Thai train that would leave Padang at 5.00 pm Thai time, passing Hat Yai, Phatthalung, Thung Song, and sleeping all night until waking up in Ratchaburi. The train took less than 24 hours to travel from and arrived at Bangkok Central Station at 9.00 am. This was another experience of traveling by train across countries :)

When you trip from Malaysia to Thailand, which transportation do you take? Air plane is the fastest and comfortable, the car is convenient. Train should be the most difficult way but it is much more interesting. I would like to recommend train Trip. ☑️ Butterworth to Padang Besar Take the morning train from Butterworth to Padang Besar. The train is from KL, you can take the train from KL. The air conditioner in the train is very cold. It is better to wear your jacket. When you arrive at Padang Besar station, buy the ticket for Thai national railway from Padang Besar to Hatyai. Padang Besar station is located in Malaysia but all the passenger shall pass the immigration before taking the train. Immigration opens when the train comes and the train usually comes late. ☑️Padang Besar to Hatyai Thai national railway does not have the air conditioner but fans. You can open the window and enjoy the fresh air and sound. When you cross the border, the atmosphere and view suddenly change from palm tree to farm. When you arrive at Hatyai station, you can enjoy Thai foods, massage, etc. Hatyai is 3rd biggest city of Thailand but still silent and calm. #padangbesar #butterworth #hatyai #traintrip

Padang Besar's Bazaar is heaven sent with goods ranging from traditional to the high-end market. Great place to get great Thai snacks and shopping for cheap stuff, like t-shirts, shorts and souvenirs. Make sure you bargain!

Everyone can experience to cross the international border easily between Thailand🇹🇭 and Malaysia🇲🇾. By a car, bus and even railway !!😳😗😊 The easiest way to do it is using railway from Hat Yai station (Hat yai is the largest gateway city from Malaysia in the southern part of Thailand) or Padang Besar (Thai)station. 🚉 Train brings us to Padang Besar (Malaysia) station. (From Padang Besar Thai to Padan Besar Malaysia, it only takes 2 minutes.) In Thai side, there is nothing to be checked except for showing passport at the time of buying a ticket. After arriving at Padan Besar (Malaysia), both immigration procedures is to be done. (exit control and entrance control) After entering to Malaysia, people can use intercity trains to Penang island (Butterworth), Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur. On the other hand, at another border from Bukit KayuHitam 🇲🇾 to Sadao 🇹🇭, people can enjoy duty free shopping. (From Sadao 〈Dannok〉, easy to do instant cross border 〈leaving and re-entering〉 experience on foot ! ) . However, just be noted one has to check and know his / her own requirements ! #international border
