ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among commenters is that Thai embassies in the U.S. generally do not conduct background checks for Non-O visas, which means that minor alcohol-related misdemeanors, such as DUIs or public intoxication, are typically overlooked when applicants meet other requirements like financial stability and proper documentation.
