60 Day Tourist Visa at Penang?
If you go to this link of theirs: https://penang.thaiembassy.org/th/publicservice/114491-visa-requirements-i You will see what you need for the visa type you are seeking. Word of advice, use the application form they provide, I've seen them get shirty if you aren't using the "Penang" one, even though it's the same application as other embassies and consulates. -

60 Day Tourist Visa at Penang?
It is crazy but indeed the Thai eVisa system is such that you are only allowed to apply for an e-Visa when you are at moment of application in your home-country. But of course you can apply in person for a 'regular non-e' Visa at Thai embassies/consulates in other countries that provide such Visa. But it will depend on the TYPE of Visa you want to apply for, at which Thai Embassy/Consulate such Visa is available to apply for. And on top of that the REQUIREMENTS and PROCEDURE can differ enormously depending on WHERE you apply. There are some peculiarities re the process to apply for a Visa at the Penang consulate. Do clarify WHICH specific Visa you want to apply for, and WHY that one (as you might be eligible for other type Visa that you are not aware of). -

baked beans, price is ridiculous, Im done buying them
I, too, look for healthier alternatives due to my own concerns but regardless, Ayam brand beans are just terrible. Terrible. Making my own would be the better alternative. And I'd use Himalayan pink salt and monkfruit sweetener to bring those numbers down even more. I bought a quality, old-style pressure cooker (Seagull brand) a couple of years ago and it has made a huge difference in my bean preparation. I highly recommend getting one, rather than one of those really expensive do-everything-but-blow-you electric gizmos. -

Trying to get a copy of a Thai Birth Certificate.
Great to hear of your wife's milestone in this journey. Congratulations to her. The sentence of yours, that I quoted, is perhaps one of the most confusing for us Westerners, as our countries have the same rules, regardless of which consulate or embassy you visit. I help my wife, who works with people applying for visas from various countries around the world, where they might be working at the time - all coming to Thailand for exactly the same job with the same employer - and can't count the number of differences we've encountered from one country (that doesn't make use of the evisa) to another. While I found it frustrating, at the beginning, I've now just come to the conclusion that good organization is just not in the DNA of those that work for this government and I play by their consistently shifting rules, because it's the only way to get things done.- 1

Trying to get a copy of a Thai Birth Certificate.
I will continue to update our IR-2 Visa journey for my stepdaughter for those till following. But first, my wife has passed her U.S. Citizenship interview and is scheduled to take her Oath soon. That part of this journey is almost complete. As I last reported, my attorney has now responded to the USCIS RFE. Ironically, much of what we initially uploaded was uploaded again with a letter from my attorney explaining such. And we provided even more secondary evidence. We are now back in the waiting game for USCIS to process the RFE and hopefully approve it so we can move on to the next step at the Dept of State NVC. We will see how this goes in that we definitely have an abundance of evidence and documents. In theory, this should be simple. One thing I do know is the importance of having "original" or "certified" copies of all documents we have submitted in my stepdaughter's hands when she goes for her interview. We know another couple, American husband, Thai (American citizen) wife who forgot to DHL the stepfathers certified divorce and past marriage degree to their daughter in Thailand. The American embassy consular officer held up her approval until the physical document was in his hands. Also, it really is important to understand every embassy has different rules regarding interview evidence. Here is Thailand's embassy webpage. Best to know it. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Thailand.html Thats it for this update. Cheers!- 1
