if you have Residency in Hong Kong or Macau, then you can apply for a Thai E–Visa at the Thai Consulate in Hong Kong

"...

Confirmation of legal residence, in the context of the Hong Kong SAR, generally refers to:

(a) Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card (“A” HKID);

(b) Hong Kong Identity Card indicating right to land (“R” HKID) or unconditional stay permit (“U” HKID); or

(c) valid stay permit issued by Hong Kong Immigration (for “C” HKID holders).

Confirmation of legal residence, in the context of the Macao SAR, generally refers to:

(a) Macao Permanent Resident ID Card (flip-side to be submitted along with front-side); or

(b) valid stay permit issued by Macao Immigration

...."

"...

Applicants whose current legal residence is NOT in the Hong Kong SAR or the Macao SAR, i.e. who are Visitors in the Hong Kong SAR or the Macao SAR, CANNOT apply via the Royal Thai Consulate-General [in Hong Kong]
