I applied for Thailand DTV from my home country, but I'm wondering if I can

A) travel to another country during review period (my home country's embassy doesn't require any walk in interivew, and i already have my documents all prepared)

B) enter Thailand from that country, and not the home country I applied from.

thanks in advance
Answer summary
The applicant inquired about the possibility of traveling to another country during the review period of their Thailand DTV visa application, and whether they can enter Thailand from that country instead of their home country. Responses varied, with some suggesting that as long as no interview is required, travel is possible and entry is allowed from any country once the visa is approved. Others advised confirming with the specific consulate regarding their jurisdiction rules.

Why not ask the Embassy?

That's a question for the consulate you applied via. The great majority of consulates require you to remain within their jurisdiction during the entire process, whether or not they conduct interviews is immaterial. It would have helped if you'd mentioned which consulate

As long as they don't ask you for an interview yes, and after visa is approved can enter from any country.
