TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a DTV visa, you must be outside of Thailand. Applications can only be made through a Thai consulate, which is not located within the country. You need to travel to the consulate's area and apply through their e-visa service.

You can only apply for a DTV via a Thai consulate and they don't exist inside Thailand. Chose the consulate you want to apply through, travel to the area that consulate serves, make your application via the evisa service, and remain there until the process completes

You 100% have to be outside the country, you’ll need to provide proof of this such as exit stamp from your passport or your hotel booking. You have to be in the city of the embassy you’re applying through
