" **Tourist Visa is NOT as easy as it used to be**
I got this week my tourist visa in Penang and they are asking for: Flight tickets AND Bank statement.
It used to be way simpler. Just copy of passport, 2 pictures, form filled, 150 MUR and your passport.
They DO NOT accept thai baht.
Do not forget to bring a copy of your passport - the guy outside is not cheap. and the staff at the consulate will put you back at the end of the queue.. Bring all mentioned things above and you will be fine.
Be polite and dress properly. "

" Very professional towards the services the Royal Thai Consulate provides. If you’ve had the misfortune to visit the Royal Thai Consulate in Kaula Lumpur, you’ll appreciate this location much more. "

" This was the smoothest, quickest, and easiest (tourist) visa experience I've had so far. I was in and out in about 10 minutes when I applied and also when I came to pick up the visa the next day. I have a friend who went there for a work visa, and her experience was the same.
There was also a super-friendly employee who would help with any questions you had while filling out the form. He was cracking jokes with everyone and really kept the mood light. "

" Good and fast service. VISA APPLICATION HOURS CHANGED, ONLY UNTIL 11:30, NOT 12:00 AS SHOWN IN OLD PHOTOS! Do get your prints, photos and photocopies BEFOREHAND, the van outside will charge you higher for anything you forgot. On the way to/from the consulate, you can stop by to one of the many eateries on Jalan Burma. Catch bus 101 to/from Chulia street to get here and back. Agencies in Chulia street will charge you RM 30 for taking the application to the embassy and picking it up, bus costs RM 1.40 per direction.
The consulate might ask for flight tickets out of Thailand. For longer visas they might also want a bank statement proving adequate funds. You may have some difficulty getting the visa if you already have a few Thai visas in a row in your passport. Also being from some countries might get you extra questioning, especially Africa and some Asian countries.
Almost everyone can get 15 days stay visa free from the Thai land border and 30 days from the airports and you can double this by doing a border run, so for shorter says you can just save the RM 150 visa fee for something else. "

" The ladies are courteous but the man sitting inside is just rude . The guards the old man outside is helpful but the young man inside I don't even know how he got hired. He would ignore my question and just leave me standing pure ignorance what is the interview standards of Thai embassy . I rather get a visa on arrival "
