Hello. How long po is the total time travel?

[@jamrellb]

Hello Krystal! Here are the travel times: 1. Train from Bangkok to Padang Besar - 18 hours 2. Train from Padang Besar to Butterworth - 2 Hours 3. Boat from Butterworth to Georgetown (10 minutes) We stayed overnight in Georgetown. 4. Bus from Georgetown to Kuala Lumpur - 4 hours The ride was exhausting, but it’s definitely now one of my most unforgettable moments 😊 Hope you have a safe trip!

‼QUICK NOTE: If have a working visa in Thailand and plan to come back after your trip to Malaysia, don't forget to apply for a RE-ENTRY PERMIT! ‼ You can get this at the immigration closest to you and it costs 1,000 baht. Have a safe trip, loves! 🥰🚂

[@dilabatikent8302]

Is there any way to hop on the train from a stop in Southern Thailand to Malaysia? Loved your insights, thank you!

[@jamrellb]

Hi! If it’s along the train route, yes you can. The train makes stops and I saw people boarding the train at different stops. I think you have to ask your nearest train station for the routes/train arrival times in your area 😊 Let me know if there’s a stop near your area! I’m sure your input will be helpful to everyone reading the comments.

[@tamerkhattab1964]

I've been there too. I haven't seen you guys tho 😢

[@Bashirachakzai]

Good

[@LuStoryline]

Wanna experience travelling by train too. Hopefully soon 😊

Yess go tita! Unforgettable experience jud siya 😁🙏🏼

At immegration hwve we need to press finger print?

[@jamrellb]

Hello! I didn’t need to do that at immigration. They just asked a few questions then stamped my passport

[@danielboulet7549]

Hi me and my girlfriend want to go to Asia but my girlfriend is not fond about going to Thailand. But since we are from Canada, I found good prices on plane ticket to Bangkok. From, there where is best to go? We thought taking the train like you to Malaysia or do you have suggestions maybe better the Philippines? We can fly from BKK perhaps too!! At least, I can say I was in Bangkok for 3-4 days just to recuperate from jetlag. Ah! Of course, we would like for snorkeling and beach for my girlfriend! Thank you!!

[@jamrellb]

Hi Daniel! It depends on what type of travel you guys want to experience 😊 Thailand has beautiful temples and delicious food while the Philippines has beautiful beaches, islands, and you can even swim with whales there! Malaysia is like a mix of Southeast Asia, China, and India- a unique mix of cultures. I think it would be better to decide on the experiences you both want to get and decide on the best places from there. 😊 Hope you both have a safe trip!

[@AymiInspiritZulwowwh]

The ticket is only sold at counter? Is there any ticket sold online?

[@jamrellb]

Hi! I wanted to buy online at first too, but it’s a little bit more expensive and depending on the agency, you’ll have to pick up the ticket at their office or pay extra for them to deliver it to you.

[@cyrillemondragon1333]

Cute couple ❤

[@haley.24]

I am really excited to travel by train to Malaysia from Thailand 😊 As a Myanmar Citizen, I am not sure how I can pass the immigration. Should I apply the E visa first?

[@jamrellb]

Hi! I’m not sure what the requirements are for Myanmar citizens. Please check with your embassy to avoid any immigrations problems. Good luck and safe travels!

[@cocoboy5215]

Ma'am ito po ba ang route if you plan to go to kuala lumpur from bangkok? Thank you.

What is the immigration process While enter to malasia from thailand

[@jamrellb]

Hello. If you're from a country that doesn't need a visa to enter Thailand, you just need to bring your passport and answer the usual immigration questions like where you will stay, how long you're gonna stay, etc.

[@Swapnil_The_Rockstar]

I am an Indian and I want to go from Malaysia to Phuket, Do I need to have a visa to go by this train and enter another country?

[@jamrellb]

Hi! It depends on the travel requirements for Indian passport holders. I’ve checked and Thailand is granting a 30-day visa free entry for Indians till May 10, 2024. After that, you may need to apply for visa to enter Thailand. This also applies when you enter by train. Please double check with the embassy closest to your area to avoid problems 😊 Hope this helps.

[@mohammadparvez7482]

​@@jamrellb exactly till 10th no visa for thailand and as well as for malasiya you need to register yourself 3 days prior to your traveling date that's called digital card. .. just wanted to know is there any train from phuket/krabi to malasiya (Kuala Lumpur or langkawi)

[@jamrellb]

@@mohammadparvez7482 Hi! I haven't tried from Phuket, but there are articles saying there's a train from Phuket to Padang Besar. Here's one I read: rail.cc/train/phuket-to-kuala-lumpur

[@mohammadparvez7482]

Which one do you prefer langkwai or George town for one day trip!?

[@jamrellb]

Hello! I've only been to George Town, so I can't give a comparison yet. I might be able to make a review when I visit there in the future!

[@mohammadparvez7482]

@@jamrellb okay thanks

[@FAHAD.TRAVEL1392]

How many countries you visited??

[@jamrellb]

Not a lot, just around Asia, but my dream is to see them all! 😍🥰

[@vecil9674]

where can you buy the ticket?

[@jamrellb]

Hi! You can buy the ticket at the station. Be sure to be there to be an hour or two before departure time

[@greta1M]

Hi mam how many hours travel from Thailand to Malaysia?

[@AarhamKaisar]

[@jamrellb]

Hi! I don't have a drone, so I don't know what the regulations are for it in Malaysia. Are you planning to bring one?

Sis Bangkok to Bali any train or bus

[@jamrellb]

Hello po. So far wala akong alam na train or bus from Bangkok to Bali. Usually by plane po kasi malayo at separate island ang Bali.

Hi po! Did you exchange currencies before traveling or just made cash withdrawals in Malaysia? BTW, waiting for part 2.

[@jamrellb]

Hi! I exchanged currencies but brought my Thai debit card just in case. I ended up withdrawing a few Ringgit in Malaysia with my card. The fee was 100 baht.

[@ihavetwohandxx9060]

Haluuu. Do you have any recommendations if asa mag pa exchange ug currency? 😅 and is your card VISA or MASTER card? - plan to cross border with “bodyguard” on Christmas break 🤗🤗 Very informative imong vlog . Waiting for part2 🙏🏻

[@jamrellb]

@@ihavetwohandxx9060 I got my money exchanged at Superrich. Any currency exchange place will do basta watch out lang for the rates. You can compare the exchange rates with the global price online so you know if the shop is overpricing or not. I have Visa card but the ATMs in Malaysia accept both Visa and Mastercard. Hope you and your "bodyguard" have a safe trip!

Taxi - scammer. What a bad image to penang.

Sadly yes :( But I met some Malaysian Grab drivers and they’re very friendly and nice to talk to!

@jamrellb but why you did not demand to use meter. Just curious. It is your right.

[@jamrellb]

@@keangwooichoo6138 You’re right, but we were too tired to argue after 21 hours of traveling and just wanted to get to the hotel 😩 Lesson learned I guess 😅
