I’ll try again 🙂

My last post got declined but I think the admin read it incorrectly. 

Crossing FROM Malaysia over TO Thailand at Betong on a visa exemption is a possibility as a land crossing?

I wasn’t sure that all crossings were possible for westerners? (Uk passport myself)

I have only crossed over into Laos and Myanmar personally and wasn’t sure of the situation in the south, knowing that Yala is a bit of a sensitive area 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, seems that it should be fine 🙂

I’ll let you know how it goes

do bears shit in the woods? The answer depends on the bear... The same goes for answering your question too. You give zero information so the answer is maybe. Depends if you have a valid passport or not.
