What are the best ways to do an afternoon border bounce from Hat Yai?

Traveling from Hat Yai for an afternoon border bounce can be efficiently done by various means. Some users recommend taking a mini bus to Sadao, which costs around 60 baht and takes approximately 90 minutes. Once at the border, a motorbike taxi to Malaysia and back costs about 150 baht and requires a short wait for the mini bus to return. Alternatively, chartering a taxi is a quicker option, with an estimated cost of 800 baht each way, keeping in mind to allow roughly 4 hours for the round trip, including walks through immigration. Wang Prachan is another border crossing option that users found to be smooth and quick.
