TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discusses the potential downsides of applying for a Thai visa from Kenya rather than from one's home country, suggesting that it may be easier to process the application where the relevant documents are issued and familiar to visa officers.

You probably would have been better of if applying in your homecountry where the bulk of the documentation is originating from, then the visa Officer, would be accustomed with the way the documents look, and have easier options to validate the documents

Probably better to apply from your home country if you are there now

Thanks. Had a look but found nothing. That said, me and searching for things online dont get along very well 😆

I usually have extra questions anyway so always prefer to chat with someone who has the experience.
