TLDR : Answer Summary

The question is whether one can apply for a Chinese visa while in Thailand on a tourist visa. Responses indicate mixed experiences and opinions. Historically, applicants were often denied if on a tourist visa, and it was recommended to hold a Non-O or Non-B visa. However, some users share that they successfully applied on a tourist visa, contingent on current regulations and specific embassy policies. It's advised to check with the Chinese embassy in Bangkok for the latest requirements.

It depends of the Ch embassy, sometime you should demonstrate you are Thailand foreign resident, it depend about the "day". The thing is that there are no rules, so they might decide case by case and day by day but it is a not rather than a yes according to my point of view. I have your same thought, go to Thailand and apply for Chinese visa

Back in 2010, no, you couldn’t get a visa to China in Thailand if you’re on a tourist visa. Non-B or Non-O visa holders were allowed to apply. However, rules have been changing everywhere so it’s probably best to call the Chinese embassy in Bkk to confirm.

Back in 2017 at Chinese Embassy in BKK, they told me I had to wait at least 10 days, so I had to give up. A few months later I had to go to China again and I got it in 24 hours but I was under a Non-O Visa this time and I took my TM47 form along. Maybe something changed now so don't take this for granted.

Are you asking to get a visa to China? You’d may be better off asking in a Chinese visa group.
