[Q&A] First road trip to Thai advise?

[CrossOver]

Hi guys.. I will be going to Thailand and this will be my first trip up north.. For beginners do you guys have any advise?

 

At the moment I do not know how many stops interval and at which part of Malaysia to pit stop and rest.. If anyone has any itinerary to share that would be great as well.. As for Thailand, me and my friends have no idea yet where to go to as well..

 

Our main objective is for the experience, sights and to achieve reaching Thai..
