Is it better to apply for the Thai DTV visa online or in person in Ho Chi Minh?
Okay question: If in Ho Chi Minh to do the DTV, would it be better to do the application online through Thai e-visa website or go to immigration in person? Please don't suggest an agency.
Answer summary
You must apply for the Thai DTV visa online through the Thai e-visa website, as no Thai embassy in Vietnam accepts in-person applications. It's advisable to complete the visa application before scheduling your trip, as processing times can vary from a few days up to a week or longer.

I recommend not booking your trip to leave Ho Chi Minh until everything’s completed as there’s no set time for getting your approval. Shouldn’t take long to get your response by email but could be up to 1 week possibly longer

Applications for visas are online only via the evisa portal

Your only option is online. No Thai embassy accepts in person applications these days. A couple require you to visit to pay but not those in Vietnam
