I intend to apply for a second tourist visa this year. I got my first one in Penang.

Could I do my second application in Penang or is it risky and therefore better that I go to Kota Bharu?

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the suitability of applying for a second tourist visa in Penang after successfully obtaining their first one there. They have heard mixed information about the chances of success in Penang and are considering whether it may be better to apply in Kota Bharu instead.

My chinese friend did her 2nd in Penang. She was told not to apply at Penang next time. As long as we understood, Penang offers only twice when it comes to Thailand Tourist Visa. I know a lot of people go to Vientiane.

if providing everything they need is not a problem for you, you can do it in Penang. They require lots of documents though. The nearest copy center is far away so you need to prepare everything in advance
