			==== [[Thailand]] ====
			[[File:Malaysiathailandborder.jpg\|thumb\|220px\|right\|[[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.\|Craig]] tries thumbing up lifts at Bukit Ayer Hitam border (Thailand).]]
			At the ''Bukit Ayer Hitam'' border with Thailand [[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.\|Craig]] wasn't allowed to ask motorists in the car immigration area for a lift [http://thumbingasia.blogspot.com/]. Go to the rest area and ask there or just walk 5-10 minutes to the first crossing where you can stop cars easily.

			==== [[Brunei]] (East Malaysia or [[Borneo]]) ====
			Malaysians are paranoid about immigrations issues, so if you go from Eastern Malaysia to [[Brunei]] you get your passport stamped like crazy. To be more specific, as of 2012, there are five border crossings between Kota Kinabalu (in Sabah, Malaysia) and Miri (Sarawak, Malaysia), each giving you two stamps (one when entering, one when leaving):
			# Sabah to Sarawak
			# Sarawak to Brunei
			# Brunei to Sarawak again
			# Sarawak to Brunei again
			# Brunei to Sarawak once again.
			None of these should take long - just a stamp and that's it. You can even tell the officers that you want the stamps on older pages to preserve space. They are all quite understanding.

			==== [[Indonesia]] ====
			There is a ferry from [[Malacca]] to [[Dumai]], [[Indonesia]] (20 USD) and police will give you real trouble if you try to leave by cargo boat (if you can even enter the port. If you make it please inform us here.)
			In [[George Town]] there's a small marina with private yachts. But it's easier to get a free ride with a boat in [[Langkawi]]. Most of the boats go to Indonesia.

			==== [[Sarawak]] (Borneo) to [[Indonesia]] ====
			At Entikong crossing, You can get a visa on arrival at this border (35 USD in 2015). There is not so much traffic to the border. Once across the border try get a ride with one of the trucks, almost all of them go to [[Pontianak]]. Usually many of them go in the afternoon and arrive in the morning in [[Pontianak]].

			==== From [[Sabah]] (Borneo) to Indonesia ====
			There is no road crossing! You have to get a visa before (easy to get in [[Tawau]]).
			The only option seems to be speedboat to [[Tarakan]] or [[Nunukan]]. Cost to Nunukan should be about 65 MYR. From Nunukan there are PELNI boats about every three days, plus select ferries, so plenty of options to get to Sulawesi, East&South Kalimantan and further afield. While not free they are fairly cheap, about 150.000 IDR for a day of travel.

			==== [[Singapore]] ====
			There are two border crossings to [[Singapore]], from the Malaysian city of [[Johor Bahru]]. One is Woodlands checkpoint to the north of Singapore, and the other is Tuas checkpoint to the west. See [[Singapore]] for further information.
