I am currently in Thailand and intend to apply for a muay thai DtV visa in Laos or Cambodia. My question is, is it possible to apply while I am in Thailand? Even though I am applying to an embassy outside of Thailand. Thanks for the help.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that you cannot apply for a muay thai DtV visa while you are currently in Thailand. The Thai E-Visa website clearly states that applicants must be outside of Thailand to apply, and embassies may require additional documentation that proves your location at the time of application. It is recommended to travel to Laos or Cambodia to begin your application process.

The very first window everyone encounters when accessing the Thai E-Visa Website from anywhere is the following window where you have to affirmatively acknowledge by clicking "Acknowledge"

"...

It is important to note that you are only able to apply if you are currently not in Thailand.

Look at the criteria for applying for a DTV visa. You want validation that you can do it or others to say yes you can because they did. But it's not hard for officials to see where you are when you apply. If they ask for a copy of your visa stamp into where you are supposedly are applying or a copy of your hotel that you are staying. What then these are things asked when people say the embassy has asked for more documents. So they must scurry to that country. The rule to apply I'd you must be outside of Thailand. If you don't want to go out and wait for approval don't apply. It's a 5 year visa well worth the trip and expense. This reply is not just for you but others contemplating same
