The process of sending documents to the Thai embassy may require translation and legalization, depending on the embassy's specific requirements.

Some embassies or consulates will accept documents in the local language but others will require it to be officially translated into either Thai or English. Your best bet is to check the website of the embassy you are applying to since it’ll generally say there.

Additionally, I wouldn’t assume that a consular office in a 3rd country like Vietnam would accept documents in Spanish.
