before the topic spill over. SA can not get visa in KL only. Other countries OK. The web sides of Thai Embassies , in most cases clearly state which country OK and which not. I close comment.

Almost every consulate has a list of countries, which can not apply for a Visa unless they have residency in that country. As far as seen in reports only KL is refusing South Africans.

Yes. Only KL refusing

A tourist visa can be converted to a Non-B within the kingdom provided your tourist visa got at least 15 days before expiration.

I've read stories that they're being refused in neighbouring countries now..
