ORIGINAL POSTER

Reporting in from Penang: got an SETV today.  Smooth process.  Had to give onward flight and accommodation proofs.  He didn't ask for my bank statement but I gave it to him anyway.  The official was on the phone the whole time I was giving documents so didn't say anything to me and didn't really inspect my passport which had 2 other Thai visas in it.  Pickup today no problem.  There were about 20 or 30 people getting visas but wait was minimal.  Thanks to this list for the tips.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user successfully obtained a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) in Penang. The process was smooth and minimal wait time, despite a larger crowd. They provided proof of onward flight and accommodation, and although the official did not ask for a bank statement, the user submitted it anyway. The official was preoccupied during document submission and did not inspect the passport closely.
