About Travel to Sungai Kolok
Sungai Kolok Railway Station is located 1.3 km walking distance from the border with Malaysia. There are no train services from Sungai Kolok into Malaysia so travellers need to use other forms of transport to enter Malaysia via the border crossing at Sungai Kolok. You can walk from the railway station to the border but most travellers opt to take a motorbike taxi on this very short journey, for which a charge of 40 THB is normally requested from foreign visitors.
Once at the border travellers without their own vehicle need to walk 550 metres across a bridge between the Thailand and Malaysia immigration checkpoints. Once through the Malaysian side of the border most international travellers will then head towards the city of Kota Bharu, which is the main regional transport hub and also the location of a Thai consulate.
