TLDR : Answer Summary
It's not necessary to book a 2-week stay in Hanoi for the visa application; 10 days is sufficient. However, it's important to note that providing this information to the Embassy won't grant any special considerations.

No, you can not get any special treatment by telling the Embassy you only booked 10 days.

You apply and wait until the visa is issued before return to Thailand.
