jakarta was good before as i heard but too many people go there for walk-ins.... malaysia is a tough place, if your documents are missing , they might reject you. laos is good but you need to make an appointment or cooperate with some agencies which might get you in for walk-in interviews.... i used laos and malaysia before for tourist visa and i was happy with their service.
