STV visa:   has anyone successfully applied for an STV visa from a country they don't have permanent residence in?  

The Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur requests that: Non-Malaysian applicants have a permanent residence visa in Malaysia (I'm British).

I have asked the embassy but no reply yet.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the difficulties faced by a British national attempting to apply for a Special Tourist Visa (STV) at the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur, which requires non-Malaysian applicants to have permanent residence in Malaysia. Responses indicate that STV applications must be made from one's home country or a country of permanent residence, making it unclear if applying in Malaysia is feasible without such status.
