ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi again👋 Thailand-Malaysia border advice. I need to get my 30-day visa exemption and I'm thinking of crossing the Thai-Malay border, likely at Wang Prachan Boundary Post. 

Is it possible to drive on a motorbike there and cross the border on foot? Should I get ready for any problems, fees and other expenses? I have an EU passport. Thank you 🤗 

EDIT: Is it true you cannot cross there and back in the same day?

One commenter highlights that the issuance of a 30-day visa exemption may vary based on the EU country's passport.
