The distance between Malaysia and Thailand reaches 1,692 km (google maps). The boundaries of the two countries are only separated by land, so if you want to travel from Malaysia to Thailand, it is not only limited to traveling by ship or airplane.

Then how to get to Thailand?

Bus

The first option to travel from Malaysia to Thailand is by bus. Travel time ranges from 7 – 13 hours, depending on your place of departure and the last stop while in Thailand.

Train

Indeed, currently there is no railway line that directly connects Malaysia to Thailand, but you can take train to Padang Besar station for immigration checks, before continuing the journey to Thailand.

Then what about using a private vehicle?

Of course you can! The Thai government accepts private vehicles originating from Laos, Singapore and Malaysia. With the maximum provision weight of the vehicle does not exceed 3,500 kg. However, of course, if you bring a personal vehicle, the process will be longer.
