Hi All

Im off to Penang to apply for a tourist visa next week.

My plan is to fly on Weds, apply on Thursday morning and hopefully collect Friday afternoon.... catching the 5pm flight out of Penang Friay.

Questions:

1) You have to apply in the AM and collect the following PM, right?

2) I have 2.5 pages left. Will I be ok?

3) Are the visa in Penang currently free and if not, how much?

4) Any reccomendations for hotels in Penang with free wi fi or wireless in room?

Many thanks

1. For tourist visa you may get same day service. That was policy last month.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. Search Penang on forum and will probably find some - or post a price range and people are more likely to suggest.

      Expat Confusion Grows as Thailand Cracks Down on Helmet Law Violations

      File photo courtesy of Triptipedia Thailand’s latest initiative to enforce stricter motorcycle helmet regulations is creating a stir among residents and tourists. Starting 1 June, the "Safe Roads Project", spearheaded by Thai traffic police, aims to curb road accidents by imposing a heftier fine of up to 2,000 baht for those caught without a helmet. This campaign zeroes in on high-risk areas, especially around schools, to foster adherence to traffic laws. The new mandate requires all motorcyclists and passengers to wear helmets at all times, without exceptions based on travel distance or location. This move addresses Thailand’s troubling road injury rates, which heavily involve motorcycle users. Notably, the change quadruples the previous penalty, reflecting the government's commitment to road safety. This revised law has left some expatriates puzzled. A post on Reddit by a foreign resident highlights a debate over whether Thailand's helmet law applies to motorcycles with sidecars, known as saleng. The post details a playful argument with his Thai wife, who contends that the configuration of a saleng exempts passengers from wearing helmets, while he insists it shares the same legal status as traditional motorcycles. So far, the Royal Thai Police have not made any special provisions for saleng configurations, suggesting the same helmet rules apply to all motorcycle types. This lack of distinction underlines an important aspect of the new regulation, its simplicity and broad application. The authorities are focusing efforts on regions notorious for traffic breaches or mishaps, stepping up patrols and checkpoints to catch repeat offenders. With motorcyclists making up a significant portion of road casualties, this campaign signifies a crucial step in addressing Thailand’s road safety challenges head-on. In conclusion, this strict enforcement of helmet laws is a strategic attempt to reduce road fatalities, targeting compliance through hefty fines and heightened police vigilance. As Thailand aims to protect its residents and visitors, it underscores the importance of safety over convenience on its bustling roads. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-31

      Thaksin Wants Pheu Thai Back in Control of Interior Ministry

      File photo courtesy of Thai PBS World Thaksin Shinawatra, de facto leader of the Pheu Thai party, has voiced his desire to regain control of the Ministry of Interior from the Bhumjaithai party. The former Prime Minister argues that Pheu Thai should oversee the crucial portfolio to ensure their government policies reach citizens nationwide. This move is seen as pivotal, with the next general election looming in just two years. The Pheu Thai party, led by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, is the core of the ruling coalition. Thaksin insists that for their populist policies to be truly effective and widespread, control of the Ministry of Interior is essential. This portfolio, held by Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul, is renowned for its sweeping influence over provincial and local governance throughout Thailand. Thaksin maintains that while the Bhumjaithai party should remain part of the coalition, regaining the Ministry of Interior is crucial for Pheu Thai. Speculation is rife about a possible cabinet reshuffle once the legislation for the 2026 government budget secures initial approval from the House of Representatives. Thaksin further asserts that maintaining control of the ministry is more crucial than ever, given the political landscape and ongoing legal challenges faced by both himself and his daughter, the Prime Minister. The Ministry of Interior's commanding role over provincial governors, district officers, and local headmen positions it as a linchpin in implementing government policies at the grassroots level. For Thaksin and the Pheu Thai, regaining this ministry might not only fortify their grip on power but also ensure that their policies resonate more profoundly with the public ahead of the next election cycle. Ultimately, Thaksin is focused on consolidating his party's influence without jeopardising the coalition's stability, even as legal battles present potential challenges for the Shinawatra political dynasty.
