Seeing that I know you Rick.
You can apply for elite visa from inside or outside Thailand. They are letting people in. It's taking a while
USA embassies are allowed to attach stickers. It's taking a little time though.

Can you apply for the Thailand Elite Visa from inside Thailand regardless of your current visa type?
