TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus is that you should remain in Cambodia until your DTV visa application is fully processed, which can take around 11 business days. Staying in the country is advisable in case you are required to attend an interview or provide further documentation. Additionally, Phnom Penh is recommended for its interesting attractions, making your stay more enjoyable.

Phnom Penh is an interesting city anyway and well worth a visit and good look around..

11 business days is the approval term in Cambodia. Best to stay in Cambodia until approved incase of being asked to attend an interview or provide further proof of stay in Cambodia.

You need to remain there until the process completes. Don't return to Thailand until the visa has been issued
