Someone very recently tried to go to Thailand while waiting for approval, and had also applied from the UK. He was caught and told that he had to return to the UK or risk losing his visa application. You shouldn't try it either.

No. Your visa application will be cancelled.

No. And if caught, your application will be denied and fees lost.
