TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai Embassy in Penang will be closed on several dates this month, including October 13th due to a public holiday in memory of the King and October 18th. Furthermore, there are indications that it may also be closed around the King's cremation date on October 26th. Starting from October 16th, the embassy will also be limiting their application processing to 200 applications per day, only accepting them from 9 AM to 11 AM.

I deleted your comment Oscar, because they are listed as only being closed on the 13th and the 18th.

The 23rd and the 26th are NOT holidays at the thai consulate in Penang.
