Thai Visa in Penang on on arrival in BKK
Thai Visa in Penang on on arrival in BKK
Currently on vacation in Malaysia and hadn't planned on going to Thailand this year but I am having some dental issues. It's expensive here so I would like to head to Bangkok to see a dentist.
Can I get a tourist visa in Penang or can I fly into BKK and get a visa on arrival at the airport?
I am an American citizen and my wife is a Canadian citizen.

You can get a tourist visa in Penang (or KL or Kota Bharu) in Malaysia which will gain you a 60-day entry to Thailand (regardless if entering by land or air). Or you can get a tourist visa exemption (not an actual visa) on arrival to Thailand which is a 30-day entry arriving by air but only 15 days if entering by land.
So fly to Bangkok for an easy 30-day stamp or if in doubt about your timeframe get the more flexible tourist visa in advance.
