Nov 14, 2006 - Malaysia - Kota Bharu

 

Another similar report of the visa run: "Selamat Datang - Welcome to Malaysia Another early start at 6:45am for our minivan to Kota Bharu in Malaysia where we were told we would be going all the way to Kota Bharu (for an extra fee) but as usual the lost in translation excuse was played (scam) and after 8 hours (with an hours stop in Hat Yai) in a tiny minivan rammed with locals we were told to get out at Sungai Kolok which is the border town in Thailand just across a bridge from Malaysia.

 

... We made our way to Thailand's passport control hut to officially depart the country and then walked over the bridge and through to Malaysia's passport control and into Rantau Panjang, the border town in Malaysia."
