Flying to KL today. Going to Thai embassy there to get tourist visa. Application requires that I document lodging for entire 60 day period and I have portion of that time covered. But I intend to travel and wander around and make plans as I go. Is there a solution?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking advice on how to secure a Thai tourist visa in Kuala Lumpur given that they need to provide lodging documentation for their entire stay but plan to travel spontaneously. Several commenters suggest making a cancelable lodging reservation or booking the first night only, while emphasizing the importance of adhering to the visa application requirements to avoid denial.

just a simple advice: Do not listen to people who tell you, they never check, so just fill in some fake information. OR do not give them more information, OR rent a 18 wheeler truck to bring every possible document you got in live, copied at least 10 times just to be sure.

Meet the requirements as asked, will do the trick to get a visa or Extension of Stay.

have fun.

Don't give them any more information than you have to is the advice I've heard from many people.

You can possibly leave some sections blank.

KL has check list. They check it and form upon entrance. If you didn't tick the all checkbox nor fill application form properly, they wouldn't let you in..

Just book first night and put that place. They never check. Some people just make up an address.

And I'm just curious, when was the last time you got a tourist visa at the thai consulate in Kuala Lumpur?

Plan your first week stay. Then seperately book the rest of your stay on booking.com with a cancelable reservation. You can cancel it later.

That is the requirements listed at that consulate, I have seen people denied for not meeting it, AND I have seen people skate thru there with just a weeks lodging proof.

I'd say at least make a booking (that you can cancel later) somewhere to show you ARE indeed staying during the requirements OR chance it.

As a rule the requirements posted on the website for the consulate are what they follow..
