French citizen in Thailand needs to apply for DTV soon. Remote worker. Where would be the best place to apply? If you provide a location, let me know also the delays.

Thanks.
Answer summary
A French citizen looking to apply for a DTV visa in Thailand can do so at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The expected wait time for the visa application is around 10 days in both locations. If choosing Hanoi for the application, a recommended accommodation is the Mercure La Gare hotel, conveniently located across from the embassy and close to the Hanoi train station.
