About Sadao
The border town and checkpoint ofDannok(which appropriately means "outpost") is 10 km south of Sadao and about 60 km fromHat Yai. The town on the Malaysian side isBukit Kayu Hitam. This road crossing is the busiest between Thailand and Malaysia: both countries' major trans-national highways to their capitals meet at this crossing. Most long-distance buses between Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand use this crossing. If busy border checkpoints stress you, head to the quieterPadang Besarrail and road crossing, 12 km west of Sadao. Trains run to both capitals. Dannok used to be just a few wayside but border trade, sleaze and shopping have led to both sides of the highway sprouting many little lanes lined with karaoke bars and nightclubs, with scantily-dressed bargirls sitting outside.
