@@henryloohenryloo8171 Once you reach Haadyai Station, you're already in Hatyai! And there will be many van / tut-tut drivers waiting there and trying to get you to ride their transport, however, it might be expensive as they want to earn tourist money, so try to haggle prices if you can, or ask for a taxi with meter/ use grab! As for the latter question, if you're asking about the train ride from Padang Besar --> Hatyai, the ride was around ~1 hour. :D
Yes sir To go Hatyai - We went to the train station - bought a ticket to go from Sungai Petani --> Padang Besar (RM 9.30/ adult) - then bought a ticket from Padang Besar --> Hatyai (RM 8) (earliest train departs at 9.55am) To return from Hatyai - We called a van to send us directly to the border (Padang Besar Train Station) (~200baht/ person) - you'll have to go through Hatyai Immigration (They'll check your bags & passport) - then you'll go through the Malaysian Immigration (They'll check again) - then bought a ticket to go from Padang Besar --> Sungai Petani (also RM 9.30/adult), (latest train departs at 9.30pm)
