What are the experiences and steps to apply for a Thai visa through the Hanoi Embassy in Vietnam?

I want to thank all the people who have shared their experiences with the process, it helped me to streamline my paperwork. My partner also helped me to organize everything. Here's my story:

I applied on Dec. 5. They requested more information on Dec. 8, then requested even more information on the 9th. They approved me on Dec. 11th.

I tried to redact some client information and they weren't having it. It made me a little uneasy but I guess it is what it is.

I applied through the Hanoi Embassy in Vietnam. I was shocked on how quick it was and the cost was MUCH lower than expected.

I did have a Thai visa in the past when I used to teach so I'm not sure if that swayed the application or not.

Either way thanks again, I combed the discussion threads and it was very helpful. :)

I'll share once more when we arrive in Thailand in a few weeks.
