There are a total of 9 border crossings between Thailand and Malaysia. 8 of them can be crossed overland and 1 over the sea.
I have used Bukit Kayu Hitam / Sadao border crossing for this trip.
The following documents is required to drive your own car into Thailand:
1. TM2 Information of Conveyance form. - 2 copies
2. TM3 Passenger List form - 2 copies
3. TM6 Arrival/Departure white card - This was not required at the time of my travel
4. A valid passport.
5. Valid driving license - Malaysian driving is valid in Thailand
6. Vehicle registration card
The following insurance is required for proper coverage while riding/driving in Thailand:
1. Compulsory Insurance - This is compulsory
2. Voluntary Insurance - recommended but not compulsory
3. Endorsement 101 - recommended but not compulsory
4. Travel Insurance - recommended but not compulsory
I have done some research before my drive to Thailand. For first timer the process sound a bit complicated but rest assured that it is pretty manageable.
I have made this video as a guide for the preparation and the process of crossing the border.

I was driving from Trang through Wang Kelian checkpoint and back again some years ago. I did not have to leave the car, only showing passport, very easy and fast.
Thanks for the information & tips, good job,have a nice journey 👍👍👍
Thanks for your encouragement !
Thanks for all the crucial information provided, very useful and very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Insurance can also be purchased at the Thai Thai Immigration office where we get the TM2 & TM3 forms for car documents right? I remembered did it there before covid when travelling to Pakbara
I was told the same but have not tried it. I prefer to do it at border town before reaching the checkpoint as I found some insurance agents quoted much more competitively than others
@@NeymusAdventure 🙏
Great video 👍 i have a question.. where do we get physical drivers licence? As i asked JPJ officer the other day, he said no more physical drivers license
Hi. Based on what I found out there is still issuance of physical license. This news below is dated 4th Jan 2024:
www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2024/01/996401/malaysians-can-now-renew-driving-licence-road-tax-myjpj-app-starting-feb
Quoting from the news, it said "drivers and vehicle owners who are not yet ready during the interim digitisation period this year can still choose a physical driving licence and road tax...... the use of the security paper would begin after the existing stock of plastic card for driving licence and disk sticker road tax ran out."
Maybe the JPJ officer was referring to the plastic card running out. When plastic card run out, security paper will be issued instead.
Pergi ke kaunter JPJ.. Nanti mereka akan keluarkan lesen fizikal.. Saya baru je dapatkan minggu lepas.
Iam confusing time zone of border Malaysia and Thailand. Because Malaysia and Thailand are different time zone.
Like Malaysia 7PM after pass border 6pm in Thailand
Yes Malaysia and Thailand are not in the same time zone. Thailand is 1 hour behind of Malaysia. You are right that if it is 7PM in Malaysia, once you crossed the border into Thailand you need to adjust your time to 6PM.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful. May I know if we are using Malaysian car as Perodua Myvi, Can we get RON 95? Or got any specific oil. just for emergency purpose. Can suggest petrol station name.
Yes we can get RON95 in Thailand. Some station offer standard RON95 and Premium RON95. I used the cheaper Standard RON95 when I was there. You can easily find familiar name such as Shell and Esso in Thailand. I also tried brand that is only available in Thailand. They are as good.
@@NeymusAdventure Well noted. Thank you!
I want by on but thai cars which are not available locally and bring it back.
The procedures I shown in my video is only to bring Malaysian car to Thailand using temporary import/export.
Hi. I Didnt find in your video where to show/verified the arrival card (tm6) or did i miss it ?
Hi. Thailand is temporarily suspending the need to fill out the 'To Mo 6' (TM6) immigration form for travellers entering and exiting Thailand at the Sadao Immigration Checkpoint in Songkhla starting from 1 November 2023 until 30 April 2024. That is why it is not in my video.
@@NeymusAdventure OIC.
And 1 more sir. What if we enter to thailand thru bukit kayu hitam border but depart thru padang besar perlis border. It is possible ?
Hi, I have not done that before so I'm not 100% sure. Based on my understanding, it is allowed to enter and exit at different crossings. However as the regulations may change from time to time, it is best to ask and confirm with those insurance agents near the border town. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. Wish you a safe journey !
@@NeymusAdventure thanks my man. I am truly appreciate your taking the time to put up precious info for me.
If got baby..l still need get down from the car to chop the passport?
I have seen some cars in front of me with old passengers that just stayed with the driver in their cars. Their passport were stamped by the officers. I guess if there is a valid reason the officer will accommodate your needs. Have a safe trip!
Can non-Malaysian drivers holding Malaysia drive license driving in Thailand?
ASEAN License Holders: Drivers from ASEAN member countries (Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines) may use their domestic licenses in ASEAN Countries.
But for your case I am NOT SURE it is applicable as whether it has to be your domestic driving license and whether you need to be a citizen from ASEAN countries
@@NeymusAdventure thank you for your fast response, one more quick question-do they still charge any tips at the checkpoint?
Hi. You need to pay THB25 for driver and THB5 for every passenger. Make sure you have some THB with you!
