From Malaysia and Singapore
Most people choose to travel by long-distance train or bus from Malaysian cities such as KL or Butterworth to either Bangkok, Krabi, Surat Thani or Hat Yai. However, you can also travel by more local transport, as there are eight border crossings between Malaysia and Thailand - from Kuala Perlis and Langkawi to Satun; from Kuala Perlis and Alor Setar to Padang Besar; from Sungai Petani to Betong; from Kota Bahru to Sungai Kolok; from Kota Bahru , Sadao and Wang Prachan to Ban Taba. The train journey from Singapore to Bangkok (1943km) via Malaysia involves several changes, but can be done in around fifty hours at a cost of about GBP60/$90; trains leave at least once a day from both ends. The most straightforward route is along the west coast line, via Kuala Lumpur and Butterworth (22hr). The east-coast route involves a short taxi ride across the actual border, as the lines don't quite connect. Plenty of buses also cross the Thai-Malaysian border every day. Buses arrive at Hat Yai from Butterworth (5hr), Penang (6hr), Kuala Lumpur (12hr) and Singapore (18hr)
