TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a Thai tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, you need to be within the jurisdiction of the Thai consulate. You can apply through the e-visa website and then wait for your visa approval. Keep in mind that entering Thailand on a tourist visa is not significantly different from entering visa exempt, as it largely depends on your travel history.

You need to bear in mind that entering on a tourist visa is not substantially different to entering visa exempt. It's all going to depend on your history

I am just finishing my 60 + 30 days in Thailand right now. I come to Vietnam to apply for a tourist visa. Do you think I can enter again with 60 days exemption? For some reason my credit card is useless

Stand on a chair with your left leg raised and bent at the knee. Slowly raise your arms above your head and hold for approximately 20 minutes. Your visa will then be in your mailbox

I might have to do this as a back up. The e visa Non O Thai family asks for proof of residence which I won't have if I hop over Vietnam. I would have to fly back to the UK and apply there then fly back?

you don't need proof of residence. You'll need proof of location though

thanks, ah yes, my interpretation was out. Any examples when staying not in your home country?

Someone posted last week that they wanted to see a UK utility bill and did not accept a credit card statement when someone from the UK applied for a Non O.
