About Travel to Sungai Kolok
Sungai Kolok Railway Station is located 1.4 km from the border with Malaysia, and most visitors to Sungai Kolok are either travelling from Thailand to Malaysia, or from Malaysia to Thailand. Sungai Kolok is noticeably different to the majority of other towns in the deep south of Thailand in that it has a good range of hotels and some lively bars which carry on late into the evening.
Visitors come to the town from Malaysia for a night out to enjoy the more liberal attitude to alcohol and other vices than is found in the morally conservative neighbouring state of Kelantan across the border in Malaysia. If you do plan to spend a night in Sungai Kolok then the liveliest part of the town to visit at night is the Chuanmakkha Road, which is also the location of our recommended value money place to stay in Sungai Kolok, the Merlin Hotel.

Kota Bharu is a lively town with good facilities, including a Thai Consulate where you can apply for a visa, it is not however a destination of interest in its own right for the vast majority of foreign visitors.
Kota Bharu has an airport, two busy stations and a passenger train station a few kilometres away in Wakaf Bharu. From Kota Bharu you can take a train all the way down to the crossing to Singapore, or a direct long distance bus to Kuala Lumpur, or a local bus to the speed boat pier for transfers to the Perhentian Islands.
