This is following the announcement by Malaysia’s Immigration Department that all foreigners with expired social visit passes would need to leave the country on or before April 21, to avoid being penalised.
Thailand s Consul-General in Kota Bharu, Mongkol Sinsomboon, said Thais are allowed to enter the kingdom via four entry points, namely Sg Kolok (Narathiwat), Betong (Yala), Sadao (Songkhla) and Wang Prachan (Satun).
