all the minivan services Hadyai to Penang are 600-700 baht. All have vans at the same times so they can juggle overloads among themselves: 9 a.m., 12 noon and 3 p.m. approx. Daniele, you switch trains at the border? Is it easy?Daniele ***********
@Robert *****
yes very easy, pass immigration and take the other train on the other side of the station. A couple years ago I paid 50thb the thai train and 11.4rm the malaysian train plus 1.2rm the ferry, prepare some rm beforehandReply to

I think that might be the best option. Throughout Thailand bus service seems very good, but the Malaysian companies that serve south Thailand seem inept at disseminating information. Today I followed online instructions to locate a company called Nominatee, but when I reached their purported location it was closed. Then online I found notices about no service until January, 2023.Reply to
