From Thailand
Travelling from Thailand to Malaysia is straightforward and a very commonly used route. Most Western tourists can spend thirty days in Malaysia and fourteen days in Singapore without having bought a visa beforehand, and the transport connections between the three countries are excellent. This makes it an ideal route for tourists and expats needing to renew their Thai visas; there are Thai consulates in Kuala Lumpur, Georgetown (Penang) and Kota Bahru. Most people choose to travel by long-distance train or bus to Malaysian cities such as KL or Butterworth, either from Bangkok, Krabi, Surat Thani or Hat Yai . However, you can also travel by more local transport, as there are a number of border crossings between Thailand and Malaysia - from Satun to Kuala Perlis and Langkawi; Padang Besar to Kuala Perlis and Alor Setar; Betong to Sungei Petani; Sungai Kolok to Kota Bharu; Ban Taba to Kota Bharu, Sadao and Wang Prachan. Plenty of buses also cross the Thai-Malaysian border every day. The southern Thai town of Hat Yai is the major transport hub for international bus connections to Butterworth (5hr), Penang (6hr), Kuala Lumpur (12hr) and Singapore (18hr).
