TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can drive your personal car across the border to Malaysia for a visa run, but you need to meet specific requirements such as having car insurance for Malaysia and ensuring your license plates are translated into English. You will also need to prove ownership of the vehicle and provide documentation of your accommodation in Malaysia. Furthermore, you must apply for a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for your car, and be aware that only RON97 petrol can be purchased for foreign vehicles in Malaysia. Alternatively, you can park your car on the Thai side and walk or use public transport to cross into Malaysia.
With the new rules, you need to apply and install a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), and for foreign vehicle you can only buy petrol RON97 in Malaysia not the subsidized RON95
Malaysia and Thailand has 7 overland border crossings, not sure which one you're referring to but ya park your car at Thai side then take a train or public transport or walk to Malaysia will be the easier way
