TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, using a paid hotel stay for a few days is generally acceptable as accommodation for visa applications to Thailand, according to most embassies. However, if applying from Malaysia, a minimum of six months of booked accommodation is required.

I applied through Ho Chi Minh City and got asked for full duration accommodation booking. Ridiculous, the whole point of being a digital nomad is the ability to move around. Best of luck.
