I was asked to report back on my experience at the Thai Consulate here in Bali, which I'm happy to do, now that I've gone.
The consulate is incredibly informal - just a small house in Denpasar staffed by one Indonesian. The address is available online. There is no website and no one answered the phone when I called so forget finding the application online or reaching anyone directly. I applied fairly effortlessly for the 60-day tourist visa by submitting the following:
*visa application
*one photo
*bank statement
*proof of return flight
*hotel booking
*560,000 IDR fee
*photocopy of passport
The consulate hours are 9-12 and 2-4 (not 1:30 as it states). Be sure you don't arrive on a Thai or Indonesian holiday. Submit your application in the morning and return in the afternoon two days later to retrieve (i.e., drop off Monday morning, pick up Wednesday afternoon). Make sure to leave your contact info on your application so the consulate can contact you if there is a problem with your application. The place is so informal that at 2pm when I returned, they didn't really open the office or the gate. Just ring the bell and ask for your passport. Don't sit around waiting for something formal to happen. :)
Overall it was incredibly easy and informal. Certainly the most informal consulate I've seen in 20 years of traveling. There was only one other applicant there when I arrived. No lines, no taking of numbers, no waiting. Easy peasy and I have what I need. :)
