ORIGINAL POSTER
Here is my turn.

Also really appreciate the information I got from this group.

I applied in Jakarta.

Documents submitted: Oct 28th (evening)

Visa approved: Nov 7th (evening)

Had added a cover letter in English and Thai to every of the three documents (employment, finances, location) explaining situation and contents of the documents.

No questions asked, no additional documents requested (had prepared a copy of all passport pages but they didnt ask).

I am a software developer freelancer and applied for workcation.

Thank you so much for your help !!!!

I'm working on my file right now. Can I askβ€”are you employed as a full-time employee (not a contractor) and working remotely? I'm in a similar situation and curious.
