So many comments by people applying for visas, DTV, 60 Day tourists, multiple entry tourists you name a visa it's obvious the Thai Embassies abroad which are run by the Ministry if Foreign Affairs are going out of their way to make it difficult for all.
Also the staff are pretty much useless and hardly ever answer emails or phone calls .
Seeing lots of reports about this on any number of forums.

EmpatheticElephant9956 on my last day in thailand lol. I told them my intended fly date was June 9th. Didn't hear anything back at all so figured id rather lose the 400 dollar application fee vs losing the 1200 dollar flight ticket. So entered visa exempt for 34 days. Last day I woke up and was approved lol
