Padang Besar station van Hat Yai clock tower ~50–80 baht per person official shared van — ignore touts 100 baht 2 min ride scam common. Walk past immigration exit van queue signed. Grab works Hat Yai city not always border. Malaysian train arrives walk Thai side 10 min. Cash baht small bills.

Official van 50 baht — ignored guy wanting 100 baht for 2 min ride.

Yusuf right — follow locals to van line not taxi touts.
