What are the recent requirements and processes for applying for an ED visa at the Royal Thai Consulate in Los Angeles?

What exactly does a letter to Mae Hong Son Immigration have to do with an ED visa application at the Los Angeles Thai consulate?

If you have to attend school starting on September 30th, and now it's October 20th, I don't think the embassy will give you an ED visa, because you're almost a month late. I recommend contacting your school and have them re-issue the paperwork, with class starting on November 1st (or a bit later, maybe the 15th?)

Somehow I not understand. You signed up to study in Thailand, got documents of the school, but everybody forget to tell you when you need to be present at school to actually start learning. If you know that date, you need to fly a few days earlier to Thailand. If you just want because you want and all need to be like the way you want, rethink your stay inside Thailand, a country where nothing goes as foreigners planned.

I'm guessing if they are asking for flights, that is what they require?

Background...

Hey guys, I'm needing some advice please. I am currently in Vientiane to apply for my first education visa to study Thai language, as I handed in my paperwork I was immediately refused. The officer said that the paperwork was wrong and it can't have beginner and intermediate written on it. I called my school and they said they can send me the correct paperwork within one week and told me to go to Savannakhet to apply for the visa there. I'm just wanted to check if there is anything different in regards to the visa application from Vientiane and Savannakhet?

I'm an American passport holder.
