Penang-issued Thai Tourist Visas - Problems/restrictions?

Featured Replies

I've read some recommendations that people with a Thai tourist visa obtained in Penang, Malaysia should enter Thailand by air rather than by land/sea, as officials may turn you away. Anybody had any first-hand experience with this? I'm planning to return to Thailand via boat between Langkawi and Tarutao or by land at Padang Besar into Satun province. I expect I should have no problem, but would appreciate any recent accounts. Also, anyone care to confirm that tourist visas are now issued for the full 90 days instead of the old 60 days extendable 30 more once in Thailand? Anyone get a red stamp saying they could only get one more such visa? Thanks.

Tourist visas have not changed and still provide a 60 day entry. Have not seen anyone post first hand experience of any problems entering Thailand by land. People have received stamps from Vientiane and other Consulates not to apply again or that there stay is suspect so if you have a passport full of stamps it could happen. There was one report of someone only being allowed a 30 day (transit visa?) by Singapore.
