TLDR : Answer Summary

The question posed is about applying for a Thai visa while traveling in Central America, specifically whether it can be done from the UK beforehand. Responses indicate that visas start from the date of issue, meaning one cannot apply too far in advance, as they may expire before intended use. It is advisable to apply for the visa while in Central America, with some noting they can be applied for 1-2 days after submission, and are valid for a minimum of 90 days.

Well this is just fine! I bared, but you never showed, so now I'm in the slam for indecent exposure.

You'd have to apply in Central America, you cant order visas in advance, they're valid from the date of issue, usually 1-2 days after you apply, however they're all valid for a minimum of 90 days, so you could book up to 3 months in advance

Thai visas are valid from the day they're issued. You could apply for it at anytime, but depending on the visa, it might expire before you ever got to use it.
