If you are bringing goods to Thailand, their custom is few KM away from check point, they hardly do any checking.
If you are referring to bringing goods back to Malaysia, so far I had not being taxed.
The rule is buy for own consumption and some gift, not for business.
Take initiative to open your bag and show them what you had purchase.
NEVER challenge that the goods is tax free or saying that you or your friend had done it many times without problem.

Kent,
please let me know which hotel do you stay in songkhla for the 2nd day with big swimming pool , looks very nice
Hi,
The hotel with the swimming pool called Rajamanga Pavillion Beach Resort.
I did not stay at that hotel as it is fully book during that time.
However, the hotel that I stayed called Pavillion Songkhla is the sister company of Rajamanga Pavillion, that is why I can make use of the facilities.
Please note the Rajamanga beach resort is just across the road of the beach and about 2KM from town centre.
Pavillion Songkhla is just right in the middle of town where the night and sunday market located.
