SETV @HCMC update. It's business as usual. Follow the docs here

[members only]

I went to confirm a few of them before submitting. The staff are very sweet and helpful. My stupid bank, for example, can't display in a meaningful language. But submitting prints in danish was just fine. Also, I guess my condo lease is "expired". It's just month-by-month now. No problem at all. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't fly in Bali, for example.

And a "funny" detail: First time I went there was a panicked guy there who couldn't submit because some copy shop was on holiday. They said, just get the copy and come back after lunch. So, they seem very user friendly.

Feel free to pm me if you're interested in the more touristy aspects of going (spoiler: staying near the consulate is not recommended :) )

Finally, I used this fast track service

coming back. I really wish I understood more Thai. The service guy and the immigration officer had a funny conversation whilst stamping me in. But no problems. And what a joy it is to just walk past those endless lines.

Cheers all
Answer summary
The user shares their recent experience at the Thai embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, mentioning that the process is straightforward and that the staff are friendly and helpful. They recommend reviewing the necessary documents before submission and share a useful link to embassy services. Despite minor issues like language barriers with their bank and an expired condo lease, the submission went smoothly. The user also humorously notes a past experience of another visitor needing a copy and being told to return later. Additionally, they highlight the benefits of using a VIP fast track service upon arrival in Bangkok, which helped them bypass long immigration lines.
