Accessing THAILAND via LAND! (SUNGAI GOLOK BORDERTOWN)

In another episode of our "political border" series, in this video I got the chance to visit and explore a couple of unique bordertowns in the northern edge of Semenanjung Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia) that straddle Sungai Golok (Golok River), the natural political border between Malaysia and Thailand.

I started my journey in Kota Bharu, the capital of Kelantan state of Malaysia, then made my way northwest to Rantau Panjang, the bordertown on the Malaysian side of the river, then finally I crossed into Thailand to Sungai Kolok, the bordertown on the Thai side, which is also one of the southernmost towns in Thailand's deep south provinces. Come and join me as I discover further what the condition, the language and the people there are like!
