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?

TLDR : 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.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

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.
