Can anyone tell me if an Indian passport holder is able to apply for a Thai visa from Cambodia or Vietnam or do they need to do it from India?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Indian passport holders cannot apply for a Thai visa from Cambodia or Vietnam, as they must obtain their visas from India. While Indian citizens are eligible for a visa on arrival in Thailand, they are not permitted to get visas from Thai consulates in neighboring countries like Cambodia or Laos.

India is on the list of countries that can't get visas from the thai consulates in Lao, Cambodia, Malaysia or Myanmar. You go back to india to get visas for thailand.

, you are correct, and IF you are a legal resident of those countries I listed you could apply at a thai consulate there. BUT legal resident varies country by country and you would have to check with the consulate to see what they require.

I'm just posting the information that India is definitely on the list of prohibited countries at those thai consulates

... Yes. But to any country which is the country of residence. E.g. Indian passport holder residing in USA can take from USA

Ya, only for 15 days. I'm talking about someone who wants a visa with longer validity.
