When it's 6:00 PM in Bangkok, it's 7:00 PM in Sepang.
Thai passport holders enter Malaysia visa-free for up to 30 days under the ASEAN bilateral agreement. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. You can enter by air or at any of the many Thai-Malaysian land border crossings. The busiest overland points are Sadao-Bukit Kayu Hitam (Songkhla to Kedah) and Padang Besar rail crossing.
At Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), immigration is fast with autogate lanes for frequent visitors. A return or onward ticket is technically required but rarely checked for Thai nationals. For stays beyond 30 days, exit and re-enter (the 30-day clock resets on each entry), though repeated border runs may attract scrutiny. Malaysia also offers the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) through the MyTravelPass portal, which replaces the old paper arrival card.
