🚌 Padang Pesar - Padang Pesar (Pekan Siam)

Terrestrial · Thailand

This crossing can be reached easily on both sides by public transport, including train (in which case you’ll need to alight from the train to clear immigration before getting back on). Known as a fairly friendly crossing, however, if you’re trying to enter Thailand here on a visa-exempt entry, they have been known to ask for a hotel booking and flight out of Thailand (as well as a sufficient amount of cash) before stamping you in, although these requests seem to be applied inconsistently. This can cause a bit of a headache if you haven’t made any plans yet, but you can make a booking with your smartphone and show it to them if you need to, so ensure you have some credit on your phone as you won’t be allowed to use their Wi-Fi.
