Can I apply for a Thai visa from Vietnam and how long does it take for approval?

I am planning on doing Muay Thai soft power route through a gym in Bangkok.

I am going to leave Thailand and fly to Vietnam, possibly Danang. I can apply for the visa anywhere in Vietnam I take it and await the approval online?

Is it faster to do it in person at an Embassy?

I have heard it can take up to a month to process, what’s people experience with the time of approval?

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is planning to apply for a Thai visa while in Vietnam after participating in Muay Thai training in Bangkok. They inquire about the possibility of applying for the visa from Vietnam, whether it's faster to apply in person at an embassy, and what the typical processing time is for visa approval. Several comments provide insights that the visa can be processed online with reports of quick approvals, sometimes within 2 days. It is noted that approvals can occur even before physical arrival in Thailand.

You don't have to wait until approved. Today we were flying Hanoi to cnx and 29 minutes before landing my friend got the approval 😁 application submitted Wednesday 2 days ago

Vietnam is evisa only, with approval within 5 business days as detailed on their website. There are recent posts of approval in 2 business days.

You don't have a choice, an embassy is either e-visa application or in person. You can choose the embassy but not the method. Typically the embassy website will state approximate wait times for processing.
