TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster has a ME tourist visa obtained in Israel and is inquiring whether they can apply for another ME tourist visa from a different country once their current visa expires. The community discusses various options, highlighting that Israeli passport holders cannot enter Malaysia, and suggests that applying in the Philippines may not be viable either. They mention that some embassies, particularly in Perth, Australia and Kuala Lumpur, may process ME tourist visas for non-citizens/residents, but the situation can vary and is not guaranteed.

Best option is to enrol at a school and get an ED visa

Yes no problem . . Just go to the school that you wish to enrol at a month before your visa runs out. They will sort all the paperwork out for you to take to Laos

the KL Thai Embassy is the only one in SEAsia that does the 6-month METV for non-Citizens/Permanent Residents, but I am unsure of which passports or countries it will do this visa for...it's the same in Perth Australia at the Thai Embassy....

Certainly not Malaysia as you are already probably aware. That's As far as I know, the only country close to Thailand which would issue one.
