Hello Krystal! Here are the travel times: 1. Train from Bangkok to Padang Besar - 18 hours 2. Train from Padang Besar to Butterworth - 2 Hours 3. Boat from Butterworth to Georgetown (10 minutes) We stayed overnight in Georgetown. 4. Bus from Georgetown to Kuala Lumpur - 4 hours The ride was exhausting, but it’s definitely now one of my most unforgettable moments 😊 Hope you have a safe trip!
‼QUICK NOTE: If have a working visa in Thailand and plan to come back after your trip to Malaysia, don't forget to apply for a RE-ENTRY PERMIT! ‼ You can get this at the immigration closest to you and it costs 1,000 baht. Have a safe trip, loves! 🥰🚂
Hi me and my girlfriend want to go to Asia but my girlfriend is not fond about going to Thailand. But since we are from Canada, I found good prices on plane ticket to Bangkok. From, there where is best to go? We thought taking the train like you to Malaysia or do you have suggestions maybe better the Philippines? We can fly from BKK perhaps too!! At least, I can say I was in Bangkok for 3-4 days just to recuperate from jetlag. Ah! Of course, we would like for snorkeling and beach for my girlfriend! Thank you!!
Hi Daniel! It depends on what type of travel you guys want to experience 😊 Thailand has beautiful temples and delicious food while the Philippines has beautiful beaches, islands, and you can even swim with whales there! Malaysia is like a mix of Southeast Asia, China, and India- a unique mix of cultures. I think it would be better to decide on the experiences you both want to get and decide on the best places from there. 😊 Hope you both have a safe trip!
I am really excited to travel by train to Malaysia from Thailand 😊 As a Myanmar Citizen, I am not sure how I can pass the immigration. Should I apply the E visa first?
Hi! I’m not sure what the requirements are for Myanmar citizens. Please check with your embassy to avoid any immigrations problems. Good luck and safe travels!
@@coconut10able Hi! It’s bumpier than a car on pavement, but the bed was surprisingly soft. I was on the upper bunk so the bright light didn’t let me get a lot of sleep. It was super cold for me as well. 🥶 But I have a really low tolerance for the cold in the first place 😅 Short answer for me was I couldn’t sleep well. I wish I’d brought sleeping pills, an eyemask, and earplugs (oh god the snoring people). But it’s an interesting experience and saved me a lot of money on the flight 😅
Hi Miss Jam, I just want to ask if going to Malaysia by train and my passport is Tourist Visa what will happen if I go there and back to Thailand? Do my Tourist Visa in Thailand renew?
Hello! Yes, your Thai tourist visa will renew if you enter Thailand from Malaysia. As long as you leave the country and return, whether it’s by land, sea, or air, your tourist visa will renew. Have a safe trip!
@ Hello miss Jam thank you po for this reply. Another question po, paano po kayo nakapag- book ng Hotel is it online po or sa Walk in lang po? Then magkano po Ang bayad? Thank you po nang marami🫶
@@patrickpelonita6601 Nag book po ako online sa Agoda. Here's the hotel where I stayed at in Penang: agoda.tp.st/Thta4ZeV Nasa 1,000+ pesos per night po ang hotel na pinili ko, pero may ibang hotels din available sa Agoda depende sa location mo. By the way, affiliate link ko po yan, so if you book any hotel room from that link, you help me out a lot at no additional cost :) Advanced Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi! I wanted to buy online at first too, but it’s a little bit more expensive and depending on the agency, you’ll have to pick up the ticket at their office or pay extra for them to deliver it to you.

Hi! It depends on the travel requirements for Indian passport holders. I’ve checked and Thailand is granting a 30-day visa free entry for Indians till May 10, 2024. After that, you may need to apply for visa to enter Thailand. This also applies when you enter by train. Please double check with the embassy closest to your area to avoid problems 😊 Hope this helps.
@@travelwithjamrell exactly till 10th no visa for thailand and as well as for malasiya you need to register yourself 3 days prior to your traveling date that's called digital card. .. just wanted to know is there any train from phuket/krabi to malasiya (Kuala Lumpur or langkawi)
@@TheRoamManworld Hi! I haven't tried from Phuket, but there are articles saying there's a train from Phuket to Padang Besar. Here's one I read: rail.cc/train/phuket-to-kuala-lumpur
Hi! I exchanged currencies but brought my Thai debit card just in case. I ended up withdrawing a few Ringgit in Malaysia with my card. The fee was 100 baht.
Haluuu. Do you have any recommendations if asa mag pa exchange ug currency? 😅 and is your card VISA or MASTER card? - plan to cross border with “bodyguard” on Christmas break 🤗🤗 Very informative imong vlog . Waiting for part2 🙏🏻
@@ihavetwohandxx9060 I got my money exchanged at Superrich. Any currency exchange place will do basta watch out lang for the rates.

Hope you and your "bodyguard" have a safe trip!

can you book train sleeper ticket on the day of journey or it needs to be bought in advance many days before journey ?????
@@ganeshr4371 Hi! I bought it on the day, like 1-2 hours before the departure time. Travel time by train is 18 hours
@@travelwithjamrell Oh okay thank you. Hope train journey is safe. No crime etc. How much does it costs for 2 adults ???
@@ganeshr4371 Please see the breakdown of costs at the end of the video (7:02)
@@travelwithjamrell anyways, just curious ..Is penang worth visiting or it is better to go langkawi directly from KL? I am a nature person
Ma'am ito po ba ang route if you plan to go to kuala lumpur from bangkok? Thank you.
Hello! Bangkok to Penang Island, Malaysia po to.
Ito po yung Penang to Kuala Lumpur na video: th-cam.com/video/cIhyYdLTy78/w-d-xo.html
I've been there too. I haven't seen you guys tho 😢
At immegration hwve we need to press finger print?
Hello! I didn’t need to do that at immigration. They just asked a few questions then stamped my passport
The ticket is only sold at counter? Is there any ticket sold online?
Hi! I wanted to buy online at first too, but it’s a little bit more expensive and depending on the agency, you’ll have to pick up the ticket at their office or pay extra for them to deliver it to you.
Which one do you prefer langkwai or George town for one day trip!?
Hello! I've only been to George Town, so I can't give a comparison yet. I might be able to make a review when I visit there in the future!
@@travelwithjamrell okay thanks
Do you recommend going to KL to Bangkok by bus or train ? which is comfortable and safe ? and affordable ?
@@ganeshr4371 Hi! I can’t give a recommendation on that because I haven’t tried it yet. I went back to Bangkok from KL by plane 😊
@@travelwithjamrell Malaysia to Thailand you went by train right ??
@@ganeshr4371 By plane, as stated in the previous comment.
Amazing!!!!! 🎉

What is the immigration process
While enter to malasia from thailand
Hello. If you're from a country that doesn't need a visa to enter Thailand, you just need to bring your passport and answer the usual immigration questions like where you will stay, how long you're gonna stay, etc.
Hi mam how many hours travel from Thailand to Malaysia?
Hi! Here are the travel times:
1. Train from Bangkok to Padang Besar - 18 hours
2. Train from Padang Besar to Butterworth - 2 Hours
3. Boat from Butterworth to Georgetown (10 minutes) We stayed overnight in Georgetown.
4. Bus from Georgetown to Kuala Lumpur - 4 hours
If you're basing just on country to country, Thailand to Malaysia by train is 18 hours.
I am an Indian and I want to go from Malaysia to Phuket, Do I need to have a visa to go by this train and enter another country?
Hi! It depends on the travel requirements for Indian passport holders. I’ve checked and Thailand is granting a 30-day visa free entry for Indians till May 10, 2024.
