TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to cross the Thai-Malaysian border in one day. Traveling from various locations such as Krabi or Koh Pangan, many expats have successfully made the journey within a day. The trip to the border at Satun can take about 14-16 hours round trip. However, it's essential to consider your visa status and ensure you comply with entry regulations, especially regarding passport checks and visa stamps.

Carmen, I live in Samui.

You can cross the border at Satun and get 90 days on your proper visa.

If you need a 30 day stamp they consider your "passport story" (you cannot just finished a tourist visa, you cannot get a 7 day extension, etc) after that they give you 30 day stamp asking a fine of 1,000 baht.

If you need more info just send me a message

From Krabi Town (Muang Krabi) the Malaysian border checkpoint at Thale Ban National Park - Satun Province is about 330 kilometers - one way. We have people in the Ao Nang / Krabi Town drive there - do a border bounce in one day - about a 14-16 hour round trip. Fly to Krabi - I will rent you a car.
