TLDR : Answer Summary

Once you obtain your DTV visa in Vietnam, you are not required to enter Thailand directly from Vietnam. You may travel to any other country and then fly to Thailand from there, as confirmed by previous experiences shared by other travelers.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
