is the agent in coordination with the Van company? From Koh Phangan who could I book? Is it a much better idea that I go with the van and an agent, rather than to drive with my Motorbike there?
Someone told me that I could not apply for a tourist visa a second time in one year at Penang and that I should go to Kota Bharu instead, do you know if this is likely to be true? 
Is Takbai which is the border close to Kota Bharu an easy border to cross also?
From Kota Bharu Wang Prachan is 1 day driving away…
