Malaysian police and the forensics team began its journey into Thailand to enter the Mata Ayer Forest Reserve in Lubuk Sireh, Perlis to dig graves at the transit camp used for human trafficking.
About 91 graves were believed to be located in the camp, situated about 100m from the Malaysia-Thailand border.
The route via Ban Talok, Thailand, will only take about an hour because the path is not as steep as the Wang Kelian route, where another transit camp was discovered earlier.
Six land rovers and pick-up trucks were seen leaving the Padang Besar police station at about 9am. The vehicles are believed to be part of the logistics team which will be bringing the equipments to dig the graves.
A police source said another team is expected to leave soon.

Police had earlier said that Thailand authorities have granted the Malaysian team five days to enter the camp and bring out the bodies through Banh, Thailand.
Thailand police in early May had found secret human-trafficking camps on their side of the border and dozens of shallow graves.
Thailand launched a crackdown on human-smuggling following the discovery of its mass graves.
The General Operations Force (GOF) and the VAT 69 Commando unit had last month found 14 large tents and three other smaller tents located on the Malaysia-Thailand border.
Meanwhile, 35 human skeletons found in the Bukit Burma jungle in Wang Kelian and believed to be victims of the human trafficking syndicates have been taken to the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, ALor Setar, Kedah for pathological processes.
