Essecola Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Want to ask a question about getting a Single Entry TR visa in Penang. After getting the visa, which border post gives the least hassles coming back into Thailand? Have been coming in at Nong Khai before and it has been pretty painless, not asked for onward tickets or to show cash. But I heard at some of the southern entry points, they ask to see cash or onward ticket or both. I don't mind showing them 20K but I would prefer not buying a refundable onward ticket unless I really have to. Are there land transport services from Penang back to Thailand? All I know so far is there are a few places in Chulia Street that will handle fetching the visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnatong Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 If you have a visa an onward ticket will not be asked for although you may be asked to show the cash. You can return to Thailand by road, rail or air from Penang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksam Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 OP , I realize you asked specifically about Penang. However your familiar with Laos by sound of it. Just pointing out that now AirAsia now fly direct to Vientiane. Approx 1800 return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonjelly Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 In Penang they more strict then in Laos. Go to Bananas agents they will sort u out. @matale0 Many other agents around Chulia street offer same service for 20 ringgit less, shop around.

JackThompson Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Take the train back and cross at Pedang Besar - not Sadao. I'd still advise having the 20K cash, though I do not recall any recent posts where this was requested at that crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
