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 beforehand

Train all the way only just reopened but yes definitely betterRobert ******

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.

travel agencies across the street from the bus terminal? Where are the boarding places for busses going from Hadyai to Penang? That route seems to be coverered by several private tour companies but where in Hatyai are their offices and boarding places?
