Thanks admin for approval. 

Hello all. I’m planning to travel to Thailand by land from Malaysia (via Padang Besar). I am doing some research about it, but any Covid-19 related or concern should I aware of? Is the situation good to accept car traveler?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling to Thailand by land from Malaysia is currently not permitted due to the closure of land borders. Travelers are required to fly into Thailand, and entry under the 'Test and Go' program is applicable only for flights, necessitating a 10-day quarantine upon arrival.

Test and go is only by flight entry to Thailand. You would be on the 10 day quarantine.

Land borders are currently closed. No entry by car is allowed. You would have to fly in.

True. I live right on the Thai-Malaysian border myself and since 18 March last year, there is no crossing anymore. All immigration offices are closed too.
