I stay in Thailand on a tourist visa so after 60 days I need an extension of 30 days followed by a border run to activate the second visa and idem 90 days later I need to visit a thai embassy outiside thailand to apply for another double entry tourist visa. So far I've been heading to Laos but this is too far away from Koh Samui.

Have people been heading to Malaysia? Is it easy and free of hastle? What are the costs? I presume a visa run from Koh Samui heads for Malaysia right? How are experiences with the Kuala Lumpur embassy?

There are three consulates in Malaysia.

KL, Penang and Kota Bahru.

Penang will not issue if you have extended your previous visa.

KL can be reach with Firefly( that lands at old KL airport Subang.

Herbert across from Immigrations on Samui has bus trips to Kota Bahru.

For a border run to activate next entry call Julia visa service at 0860666151.

None of the consulates in Malaysia will give you double entry, only single entry.
