Hi All,
I have to work in Bangkok for a year (possibly 2) and I plan to take my Malaysian car across the border (Bukit Kayu Hitam)and drive straight to Bangkok. I was wandering if anyone has experienced doing this? I googled and found out some good info but would like to know more in details such as:
1) what paperwork should I prepare
2) How much to pay at the Immigration/customs
3) How long is the permit valid? I read somewhere that at the customs you will be given a permit for 1 month, but you can extend to a maximum of 6 months.
4) Can we ask for 6 month permit when we first enter Thailand (in my case, at Bkt Kayu Hitam border).
5) What should i do to get more permit after completing 6 months.
6) Is anyone (agent or runner) that can do this, or can I just do it myself
7) Is the road to Bangkok safe? (I plan to travel in 2 days, stay overnight half way through)
8) Anything else that I should know in traveling in Thailand.
Thank you very much.
