Can I have a layover when applying for a Non-Immigrant B visa for Thailand?

Non-Immigrant B Visa Visa Application Process Travel Plans Layover Thailand Immigration Expat Travel Tips

ORIGINAL POSTER

When you apply for a non imm b visa it asks for the flight - does this mean you have to fly directly from your country to Thailand? I was hoping to have a kind of half-way break for a few days in an in-between country - is there any workaround? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry is about whether applicants for a Non-Immigrant B visa must book a direct flight from their home country to Thailand, or if it's permissible to have a layover in another country. The response suggests simply providing whichever flight details the applicant has, implying that a layover may not hinder the visa application process.
