TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus from community comments indicates that your girlfriend from Iran will not be able to obtain a new 60-day visa at the Thai immigration office in Penang. Due to Iran being on a prohibited country list at the Thai consulate, she will likely need to return to Iran to apply for a new tourist visa before she can travel back to Thailand.

She has a flight leaving bkk on Feb 8, she has a Cambodia visa. Will she be able to fly to bkk to catch her flight without a thai visa?

If she gets a connecting flight and is able to check in all the way through, then she will stay in transit, so yes. If seperate flights, then no.

you have to contact your airline company and ask if it is possible to book her and check in at both flights the same time, then she does not have to go trough immigration and can stay air side in the transit zone

No. She needs a visa to enter Thailand. She can not get a visa on arrival or visa exampt.

I have found that to be true 99.99% of the time, they just don't know what the other government agency does, can do, the requirements, the restrictions etc.

Each agency is difficult enough to master the intricacies of what it does let alone knowing what the other one does

NEVER EVER trust an immigration officer INSIDE the country at an immigration office about anything to do with getting a visa from a thai consulate outside the country

AND

NEVER EVER trust a consulate official OUTSIDE the country at a thai consulate about anything to do with getting an visa/extension from a thai immigration office inside the country

They are completely different government agencies and have no idea what the other one can or can't do.

I think the answer to that is NO..

She's probably gonna hafta go back to her country to get the tourist visa

Iran is listed on the prohibited country list at the thai consulate in Kuala Lumpur (and that makes me think they can't use Penang either).
