Options for visa run flights

I'm going to need to fly out and fly back to get the number of days I need this trip. What are people's reccomendations? Want to take the G/F and her new passport, somewhere interesting but not costing a fortune.

I'd say Penang or Vientianne.

I'd say Penang or Vientianne.

Penang would be my pick. Much varied cultures.... and no fee for Malaysia entry.

Why fly when you've got time here for a spell? Take the train to Penang. The train journey alone is a mini holiday and when in Penang spend a few days exploring the old colonial town and surrounds. I thoroughly enjoyed it but it was 10 years ago so mat have changed

Hi Richard, my stay this trip is about 110 days, so I thought about doing a 30 day extension then flying out for a trip, then doing the same again. Or I could just bite the bullet now I'm 50 and get a 'retirement' visa as I brought 6 months of pay slips as proof of income. The problem is my timing is rubbish and I would have to travel between Christmas and new year which is a pain.
