The Sadao immigration checkpoint on the border with Malaysia reopened to travellers on Friday, with 107 Malaysians registering for entry under the Thailand Pass system.
There was also some confusion, with intending travellers turned away after failing to register.
The checkpoint in Songkhla province, the primary land crossing with Malaysia, finally came alive again two years after it was closed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Sadao crossing opened at 5am and there was a steady trickle of tourists from Malaysia. A total of 107 tourists registered for entry under the Thailand Pass system.
