What are the recent changes in the Thai Embassy's requirements for a Non-O volunteer visa in Hanoi?
If you’re going to hanoi Thai Embassy for non o volunteer visa they said 3 weeks ago they changed and now require this document to but of course they did not say anything on their website about it and they were extremely rude to me when they rejected my application this morning # never again hanoi # good bye Vietnam
Summary so far
A user reports that the Thai Embassy in Hanoi has recently changed its documentation requirements for the Non-O volunteer visa, having been rejected for not presenting a new required document that was not communicated on the embassy's website. The user also notes negative experiences with the embassy staff's attitude during the application process.

OPA friend of mine was here for a ed visa about 2 months ago had a great experience but it seems like new staff now so rude and unprofessional and unhelpful I was shocked and I have been to many Thai Embassy in other countries but never been treated like this but it is what it is live and learn and will do another way

This new attitude is reflected in the declining quality tourism numbers ...maybe the Chinese like to be treated like this

Most of tourists come on visa exempt entries for 15-20 days or less, or at least on VoA. Minor fraction of all tourists come for a longer period, many of them still on visa exempt entries, only part of them would require upfront , and even smaller numbers are getting all the rest of kinds of visas. Hence, these all issues about visas at embassy and consulates have no relation at all to immigration experiences of absolutely vast majority of tourists.
