Gotta go get a Thailand tourist visa. Which nearby embassies are sympathetic/ troublesome? I could go to Vietianne but I'd probably rather go to Vietnam or Phnom Penh. Recent experiences?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses personal experiences with obtaining a Thailand tourist visa from nearby embassies in Vietnam and Cambodia. Users mention that the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) can be friendly if all requirements are met, while one user had a negative experience due to a past overstay. In Phnom Penh, a longer turnaround time of 3 days is noted, while having all necessary documents simplifies the process. Vietianne is implied to still be accommodating, although specific recent experiences there are less detailed.

I've found they're all "sympathetic" if you meet the requirements.

The two thai consulates in Vietnam used to want to see 20K baht in a bank account and proof of onward travel.

Phnom Penh has a 3 day turn around so plan on being there 4 days or so AND meeting the requirements on their website
