it’s really not. The problem is the same - it’s about the right visa.
You obviously don’t need to apply for a visa at an embassy anymore. And it can all be done after arrival in Thailand.
Thailand breaks it down in two categories, you have money (and get LTR or Thai elite visa) or you don’t. And then you need to sort it out at immigration offices or use an agent.
You can certainly apply for Non-O before arrival. But really not necessary
