Hello -

If flying from Kuala Lumpur into Bangkok, is it easiest to obtain 60-day SETV in Penang as I am passing through, or should I apply in KL?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the best location to obtain a 60-day Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) for Thailand while traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok. Comments suggest that applying in Kuala Lumpur is the easiest option if already there, provided the necessary documents are prepared. The visa fee is RM 150 for a single-entry visa, and there's confusion regarding the travel route since the user mentioned traveling through Penang.
