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.

I visited this blog for N times. I always excite to drive especially after I changed a AWD last years.

My target is ChiangMai, but many advise me not to go alone (1 car) as I cant speak Thai.

So anyone organizing road trip this year?? Remember to jio me.

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.

Is it possible that you can tell us either at the Thai custom checkpoint, any taxes charges over the goods that you brought?

Hi Kent,

Thank you for helping in contact MSIG and UniAsia HQ on this matter as well. Appreciate your initiative taken.

I am not sure if they sell 1st party insurance at the border cos i do not know any contact there. Do you have the phone number of any agent there? Thanks.

Well. take it easy my friend.

You still can go without 1st party insurance as long as you feel comfortable with it.

How about getting the 1st party insurance from border ? any update ?

I had reply your previous message about the 1st party insurance from MSIG and UniAsia, apparently they stop the insurance coverage temporary because of the flood.

Till now i still cant find anyone can sell me this product.

So i have to seriously considering if i shall drive there :( though i do wish to do it very much.

Wonder if i am being irresponsible to both my car, myself and my passenger if i do it without this 1st party insurance….
