For those that did a tourist visa and didn't have all of their living accommodations booked yet, how'd you complete your visa application without know where you're staying the entire time? I'd like to stay in a hotel for a week to explore and decide where I want to stay the remaining time.
Answer summary
When applying for a tourist visa to Thailand without having all accommodations booked, it's typically sufficient to provide details of your first few days of stay, such as a hotel. Some embassies may require proof of accommodation for the entire duration, but many are flexible. Booking a first week at a hotel and having a cancellable second booking as backup is a common strategy.

You dont need to know your accommodation for the whole period, if you know your hotel or place of stay for the first few days then state that as where you are staying

That completely depends on the embassy, some embassies will want to see booking accommodations for your ENTIRE stay

To actually answer his question you make your initial booking for a week or two and make a second booking that is fully cancellable
