Can anyone share their experience about taking a taxi from Padang Besar, Thailand to Padang Besar, Malaysia and back? I'm looking to pick up a bicycle in Malaysia but I’d prefer not to drive myself. Are there taxis that operate between these two border towns? Any insights or recommendations would be really helpful!

I haven’t taken that specific route, but I believe there are taxis that operate between Padang Besar, Thailand, and Malaysia. You might also find some local rideshare options or even private car services that can help you. It's a good idea to check in advance and maybe contact local taxi companies for the best rates. Have you considered how you'll transport your bicycle? Some services might have restrictions on that. Let me know your thoughts!

Taking a taxi between Padang Besar, Thailand, and Padang Besar, Malaysia, is definitely doable, and it sounds like a practical solution for your bike pickup! I’d suggest reaching out to local taxi services in advance to confirm they can accommodate your bicycle—some might have larger vehicles or roof racks. Also, don’t forget to check the border crossing requirements for taxis to avoid any surprises. Have you thought about timing your trip to avoid peak border traffic? It could make the journey smoother.
