Good morning. I'm in between work permits and need to do a border run while we sort out the paperwork for a non-b. Is one night in Pedang Basar, Malaysia, enough, or should I book two nights?
Answer summary
A user inquired about doing a border run from Thailand to Pedang Basar, Malaysia, while their NON-B visa was being processed. They asked if staying one night would be sufficient or if they should book two. A commenter suggested that one night should be adequate but recommended that they complete the required tdac online form for their return to Thailand.

Offhand I'd say one night is okay, you aren't the typical free visa exempt border bouncer. Altho others with experience at that border might have direct knowledge. Don't forget to fill out the tdac online form for your return to Thailand.

thank you. I appreciate your reply. I have done this before but it was back in 2023 so just wanted to check. Hopefully I should be fine.
