ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, I'm heading back to Thailand for the 3rd time withing 6-7 months ( unplanned as I've been invited to a wedding).... I'll get visa exemption.... Is it ok to book a onward ticket to Malaysia (KL) ? Or do the neighbouring country rules apply for visa exemption too?? ..... Just don't want extra hassle with me being in and out a few times already.

Thanks!
