TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among comments is that hiring a visa agency is unnecessary for obtaining a DTV visa, as applicants can directly apply through the Thai embassy or the E-visa system. Users recommend visiting the Thai embassy website or the E-visa platform for guidance, emphasizing that the application process is straightforward and manageable without an agent.

Just like the old GEICO commercials. "It's so easy even a caveman can do it".

It’s really quite easy sir. Just log on to the Thai embassy website in your area and you can easily see what to do.

As already mentioned, I don’t see how a agent would add any value with applying DTV.

From the US should be able to apply trough E-visa system

Requirements listed here:

If you meet requirements it should e fairly straightforward. Easier than applying for tourist visa.

What do you expect an agent to do for you? You get a DTV through a Thai embassy. Agents bribe immigration officers inside Thailand, they don't have contacts inside embassies.
