of course you can and should prefer to have your LTR issued as a Thai E–Visa by a Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate, rather than an ink Stamp from the LTR/BOI Visa Office in Bangkok, as, for example,
if/when you renew your passport or if it is lost/stolen, then there are more additional procedures/steps to do than if you had a Thai LTR E–Visa from the Thai eVisa website
