- Welcome to our latest travel vlog where we explore the journey from Hat Yai in Thailand to Butterworth in Penang. In this exciting adventure, we travel by land and experience the beauty of two neighboring countries while crossing the border from Thailand to Malaysia.
Our journey started by taking two trains, which made for a unique experience in itself. We made our way from Hat Yai to Padang Besar where we exited Thailand through immigration. The process was smooth, and the officers were friendly and efficient. After clearing immigration, we boarded another train that took us from Padang Besar to Butterworth, Malaysia.
The train ride was scenic and filled with the lush greenery of the countryside. We were amazed by the beauty of the scenery, and it was an excellent way to experience the local culture. The best part was that the entire journey cost us less than $5, which is a steal considering the distance we covered and the experience we had.
After reaching Butterworth, we hopped on a ferry to get to the island of Penang. The ferry ride was a perfect end to the journey, offering breathtaking views of the Strait of Malacca and the island's stunning skyline.
If you're planning on traveling from Thailand to Malaysia, we highly recommend taking this journey. It's an affordable and exciting way to explore two neighboring countries, experience the local culture, and cross the border while enjoying scenic views along the way.

Hi bro, I'm the Maxim driver. Thanks for using Maxim.. Hope you have a great holiday... 😊
Hi. Thanks for watching our video. Hope you are doing well. ;-)
Same to you bro... Take care and share more about your journey
Most interesting journey! I was in Penang in March with my Malaysian friend and we went by train to KL from Penang. It was a great trip! I love trains . Much better than flying.
Yes. It's definitely a good alternative to flying. :-)
Great video!! Your channel is growing very fast. Congratulations to you and my longtime friend Jerry!!!
Thank you very much! We are enjoying making these videos and are so happy with the recent growth of the channel. ;-0
Thanks for this vid. We’re about to do this exact journey in the next few days. Appears to be very easy.
Enjoy! It is enjoyable and very easy. ;-)
Nice. Welcome to Malaysia 🎉
Thank you. We love it.
Was there last week beats the crowded minibus. Easy crossing.
I agree. It's smooth and straightforward.
🆒
;-)
I'm just about to do the same this week, but read that there is a bridge closed at the moment that you normally have to cross. So they have 100 baht taxis instead. Did you experience anything like that? Thanks :)
No , we didn't need to do that. :-)
Thank you! Well done, and informative, and much appreciated. I would be curious to know if Malaysia Immigration gave you the full 90 days on arrival coming overland rather than by air? I can't seem to find much information in regards to that.
Thank you. Yes, I received 90 days when I arrived by land in Malaysia.
@@AlwaysonaJourney Thank you, I appreciate that information.
Hi guys, my husband an I LOVE your videos! So respectful of locals and so informative. In 2 years were retiring in our 50s and following your footsteps.
Were going to have more questions in future, so be ready 😊 on this video, we can't find the train from Hat ya to Panang on 12go Asia and other sites.. can you give us the info? Send our love and appreciation to Jerry as well.

..and Yes, one of us does work for Disney 😊
Thank you very much. Exciting times ahead for you both. Yes, fire any questions our way. Happy to help if we can. For this journey we didn't book tickets in advance. We visited the train station in Hat Yai the day before we travelled and were told that it's common to just arrive at the station on the day of travel and purchase the tickets there and then. ;-)
@Always on a Journey , thanks so much❤❤❤
Hello, thanks a lot for the useful video about the Hatyai - Padang Besar train. May I know when you took the train? Last month?
Thank you. I took this train at the beginning of February. ;-)
@@AlwaysonaJourney Thanks for your kind response. So, this means that the Hatyai-Padang Besar-Hatyai sector is operational again. Yahoo! Thanks and happy travels!
You're welcome and enjoy your journey. :-)
Is the Padang Besar train still comes at 7.30am on sundays? Also, the penang train as frequent enough on sundays ?
I don't know about that as my journey was over a year ago now. ;-) I don't know whether these times are still accurate.

It’s quite a straightforward journey and damn it’s cheap! Just wondering what you paid for Airbnb? We were looking in KL for Airbnb and so many overpriced places here 😢
There's a limit of how many times for non Thai/Malaysia citizen for land border cross. However you're recommended to prepare enough MYR cash for transaction. You may find Airbnb outside KL such as pj, Wangsa Maju, USJ or kelana jaya. Which area easy for grab coverage or near to lrt/mrt/monorel station access. Distance to KL less than an hour depends which location you're staying.
Yeah it was great. I can't believe how cheap it was. The Airbnb we stayed in cost 155MYR a night. ;-0
I was on this route in 2008 and the train momentarily derailed. I'm not 100% sure what happened but some of the wheels must have come off the rail line. I was sitting there watching everything go past out the window and the next moment my end of the car was in the air, it was like the back end of the rail car just jumped in the air for a moment. Then after that the train came to a sudden stop and these military guys came into our car and were looking around. After about 15 minutes we started moving again. We had already crossed into Thailand at that point. I still to this day wonder what the hell happened.
Ohh that sounds scary.
How about starting point is Bangkok? Maybe best to go by plane to KL or Penang?
It would be a long journey. I'd rather fly but some people might want that experience.
I'm here in Hat yai at the moment, how many hours the journey from Hatyai to KL
Enjoy your time there. The journey to KL should take between 6 -8 hours.
Train from Padang Besar to kl takes about 5.30 hr. I don't know how long it would take from hatyai to padang besar. Anyway why do you want to go straight to KL, have a detour to Langkawi or Penang and from there take a 45mins to 1hr flight into KL. Though, if u prefer train travel have a detour in Kuala Kangsar/Taiping also Ipo
I want to visit Thailand. I go every year to bangkok and chiang mai. I want to got to southern this time in thailand to a city with ALOT of mosque, wet, day and wet markets. Cheap( not phuket)Im looking at hat yai. Do you have any advice or other cities I can
Hat Yai has a vibe similar to Chiang Mai, offering a slow pace of life and affordability. Yala, often overlooked by tourists, boasts stunning scenery and a rich culture.
Chill and enjoy the journey be it shitty or good
Exactly. I enjoyed it.
Where did you guys get the Malaysian money? I will be doing the same in 2 weeks. I have seen you paid for the sim card with local money. Is it correct? Thanknyounfor a great video, BTW!
We changed money when we were in Hatyai (Thailand) and changed more in Penang in Little India. The rates seemed ok.
@@AlwaysonaJourneyawesome! Thanks so much for the info!
Please! Can you show me how can I go to Penang from Bangkok by train ? Thanks
Hello. I have never done that route.
@@AlwaysonaJourney I see. Thanks
Immigration and customs inside train station for both countries? Thank in advance. Great video.
Yes, the immigration offices are in the same building at the Last station (Padang bazar) in Malaysia side. Don't get off at Padang besar in Thailand side.
@@AlwaysonaJourney sorry, it may be obvious but not to me - are both Thai and Malaysian immigration offices on the Malaysian side of the station? I imagine that each country's immigration will want to stamp in and out, hence my question.
can you do border bounce directly in padang besar?
I don't know about that. I know people used to do it in the past but I'm not sure how strict it is now.
Border Bounce? Like a Visa Run? If visa run, once you can go into Malaysia to Penang and then back to Thai... Nowadays, I don't know, maybe you could do it but you have to go to KL.
Are there flights from Hat Yai to Penang?
There's no direct flights from Hatyai to Penang but you can get the connecting flight from many airlines. The shortest flight takes at least 6:30 hrs.
Plus 1 hr ++ from KLIA to the city center...
Welcome. Who is the traveler with you?
Thank you. His name is Jerry. ;-)
@Always on a Journey is he thai? He looked tanned like me
Yes. He is Thai. He's from Chiang Mai. Where are you from?
@Always on a Journey I am a local malaysian
Of course :-) silly question by me. Thats why you said welcome. :-)
Men, are you ok?? 7 o’clock? Normal people sleep in this time 😴
We wanted to catch the early train. That way we arrived early afternoon, leaving enough time to go out and explore. :-)
I think MoT Anthony loke need to make a proposal to the government to install some escalators in KTM Padang Besar Station to ease local n foreign tourists to enter our country from Thailand n verse versa.
If the lift n escalator available in this KTM Padang Besar Station local n foreign tourists no need to lift their bagage on hand to step the concrete ladder.
MoT Anthony loke just talk much, but no result...cakap xsama bikin.
Sounds like a good idea.
