Has someone applied in some embassy, paid, and got rejection only on the day of passport pickup?
Answer summary
The question discusses experiences related to visa application rejections occurring on the day of passport pickup at embassies. Some commenters share their insights, including a report of a rejection in Vientiane and a personal account of a rejection in Phnom Penh, where a refund was issued without a stamp in the passport. The necessity of upfront payment during the application process is also emphasized, along with the risk of rejection if the application is submitted between arrival and departure stamps.

Has been a report like that from Vientiane. Unverified.
There was also a report from someone I've met personally who was rejected in Phnom Penh a week after he applied. They refunded his money though and didn't put anything in his passport. He got the visa successfully a week later in Vietnam.
You could potentially be rejected if the Immigration Officer sees that the application is made between the arrival and the departure stamp, i.e. you have applyed online from inside of Thailand.
