Penang to Hat Yai Destination Reviews

H
Vehicle was very fancy but the 4.30am. departure was delayed until 6am. They did communicate about it via Whatsapp, but only just before the original departure time. Staff on the bus was very nice and helpful though, and once we left Penang, things went smoothly. Arrived at Hat Yai at 10am.

The driver spoke English very well and was taking good care of us. He communicated everything we had to do also on the border and even helped us with going further. The bus was clean and spacious with AC (make sure you have warm clothes at hand). There were enough stops for snacks and/or toilet.

Good driver. He droped us directly in our hôtel in Hat Yai center. The problem is that we had to pay 10 ringgits per person to cross the boarder! We didn't really understand why we had to pay because one of the customer didn't pay and he could go until Hat Yai... We didn't have the information before from the bus company. This is not correct because we had no more ringgits and no atm at the boarder... Please, give the information to others travellers!
