Thanks in advance...

Hatyai is the commercial centre of Southern Thailand and it is located 50km (about an hour drive) from Bukit Kayu Hitam on the Malaysian border.

Go to Bukit Kayu Hitam, buses cost 18B and take 90 minutes from Hatyai. Buses run every 10 minutes between 6am and 7.20pm.
Share-taxi from Hatyai to Bukit Kayu Hitam is probably the fastest way of travelling and cost about 150B-200B per person for the one-hour trip.
Then take a taxi to Alor Star, the capital of the state of Kedah,Malaysia.
Book a flight ticket from Air Asia to Kuala Lumpur, it will cost around 500 Baht (RM 48.88) one way.

Note: Air Asia..cheap airline like Ryan's Air in Europe.

You can also fly direct to KL from Phuket (Malaysia Airlines) for around 3000+ Baht.(one way)....one flight per way...usually noon.

Have a pleasant trip!

P.S. Try the massage parlours in Kuala Lumpur for 'extra' services
