Southeast Asia travel can be an incredible adventure, but it can also be stressful. From navigating unfamiliar customs to dealing with language barriers, there are many challenges that can make your trip more difficult than you anticipated.
In this video, we travel from Malaysia to Thailand by Land Border, starting in Langkawi and ending up all the way over in Phuket! It took a turn when we had unexpected delays and travel disruptions.
Don't make the same mistakes we did. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or embarking on your first trip to the region, this video will help you prepare for the unexpected mishaps that can happen while travelling through Southeast Asia!

Here is an alternative. Take a ferry to koh lipe, and a boat ride to Phuket. The journey may take a few hours. If you are seasick may not be an option.

9:17 there used to be a shortcut bridge from the train station to the border. However, due to security issues, Malaysian Immigration closed the bridge. So you need to take the longer 6km route to the border. Malaysian Immigration is a department under the Federal Government, hence the Perlis State Government can't do anything about it. However, the State Government is aware of the issue and had requested many times for the Federal Government to reopen the bridge. Recently, the Federal Government stated that they are trying to do something to solve the problem. Not sure why it's taking so long to solve such a simple problem. As a Perlis residence, I'm sorry of your bad experience while in Perlis and hope that the things here will improve the next time you visit Perlis.

There are differences between Western and Asian travelers. Asian travelers typically travel for a maximum of 2 weeks, with 4 days and 3 nights being common. Western travelers, on the other hand, often travel for months on their journeys. This can be challenging when it comes to cost control. Malaysia and Thailand are great options for maximizing your stay as they are low-cost travel destinations.

Thanks for commenting! To be honest most western people do not travel for months on end they just have 1 or 2 weeks away in a country closer to home! Only a very small percentage of westerners can travel for months at a time! It just seems this way because a very common place for someone to go backpacking for months is SEA

The train u took from Padang Besar (Thailand station) actually departed from padang besar Malaysia. The train left Hatyai station to Padang Besar (Malaysia) and return to Hatyai, made a brief stop at Padang Besa (Thailand) to collect Thai passengers. Would have saved money and effort

As Malaysian, we normally avoid doing what you did in Thailand. Personally, I had one bad experience catching a train from Hatyai to the border, paid the ticket, and ended up getting a taxi. Luckily we managed to catch the last train (Malaysia) of the day. Close shave, uh!

Bit of a hassle for you guys to get from Langkawi to Phuket. To be honest, I didn't like Phuket much especially around Patong area but I loved Krabi though. Is there a direct flight from Langkawi to Phuket? If there is, would that been a lot easier for you guys? Definitely loved Langkawi. In my opinion, Thailand Malaysia and Indonesia are incredible countries to visit (been Malaysia 5 times, Thailand 4 times and Indonesia twice)

@@tyandsoph I would have paid just a little more for the direct flight because it would saved a lot of time and hassle - sometimes you have to pay a bit more to get more value. I knew there was a direct flight because I have remembered when I flew from Langkawi to KL and noticed the direct flight to Phuket as well as to Krabi.

Your route planning in Perlis was rather bad. You should have went to Kangar from there using minivan to Hatyai direct link. Your switching of different transportation modal caused you anxiety and money being fleeced as you were rushing to catch the next scheduled departure of your chosen transportation. Luckily you were willing to pay those exorbitant charges. Search for bus from Kuala Perlis to Padang besar Thailand you will get the better results.
