The total costs of road tolls from JB 1st toll to Bukit Kayu Hitam is RM95.50 each way with a slight variation depending on how you pass KL.

Petrol will depend on the car you drive. Assuming that you cross on a 3/4 tank, you will refuel as you pass KL probably at the "Jejantas" rest point as you pull out of KL and at the last fuel point before you enter Thailand (its on the opposite side of the road BP station - so you u-turn a little). Petrol is more expensive in Thailand than Malaysia. On your return, you refuel at the same Jejantas before KL and then in JB before returning to Sillypore.

All this means that you drive straight to Hatyai without diversions to other places in Malaysia. For my heavy consumption MPV, the total fuel cost was RM295 because I detoured to KL for meeting as well as to Penang for a night. Then, my car drinks! IF you are alone like me, its more expensive than flying !

Bird Flu or local muslims has not affected that part of Thailand although I was warned not to travel the Sadao highway from the border to Hatyai at night by some Malaysians to avoid possible bandits. In the day time, both ways, I saw nothing unusual nor did I feel threatened.

Exchange rate? I dunno because the amount I used did not warrant worrying too much about rates. I know the travel agents there give very decent rates when you need to change!

Bro, few pointers to note

1. If you intend to drive in to Hdy, make sure you are the car owner and you bring along your log card and insurance slip. You will need these to buy the insurance and permit to enter LOS at the kopitiam and money changer at Chang Lun.

2. Unless you are familiar or have someone familiar with Hdy road and the driving habbit there, otherwise it's pretty risky affair. The traffic rules slight differ from Spore.

3. Fuel full tank in Chang Lun before you enter LOS, petrol in LOS is more expansive and not as pure. And finding a petrol station at nite could be a tough task, chances are you will probably need to buy those bottled petrol from shops at roadside.

4. If you dont intend to drive in to Hdy, you can park the car in Msia Duty Free Complex, pretty safe. Lots of cars parking there and its gate are locked at nite. Not sure on the parking fees though. You could take a cab in from the complex to Hdy.

Yup, unlike years ago, when there was a SilkAir morning flight.
