TLDR : Answer Summary

As a British passport holder currently living in Italy, you should apply for the 60 plus 30 single entry tourist E visa based on your current physical location. This means you can apply through the eVisa website while in Italy. Although some commenters suggested applying through the UK due to your documents being issued there, the consensus points towards applying in Italy where you reside at the moment. If you have any concerns regarding documentation linked to different addresses, it might be useful to clarify your situation with the Thai consulate.

At the airport immigration they ask for your boarding card, not sure what they are checking for!

I'd apply with the consulate in the UK, if most of your documents (especially passport and driving license) and even your flight are out of the UK.

Its an E visa, so its online.

it's online but you still have to choose the embassy you are applying through and the local staff of that embassy will process your request.

Sure. During this eVisa process, they will make you upload proof of residency in the UK ... just upload your UK driving license. That should make them think they are responsible for you. eVisa in Italy might go through as well (given the address in the bank statement). But I would guess UK is the safer bet in this case.

It is sort of an edge case. But what isn't with Thai immigration. Many of their requirements don't exactly ever meet the real lift situation of applicants. Good luck.

if you're flying out of the UK then you can probably get away with applying there since they'll want to see a flight from the UK to Thailand. I'm not sure if Italy will issue you a visa for a flight from the UK

i don't think they care where your money is, but I can't say that for sure. But it's not unusual for a European to have a bank account in another EU country is it?

my suggestion would be to try it and see what they want. People buy tourist visas all the time from countries other than that which they enter Thailand from.

You have to apply based on where you are physically.

So you'd fill an application for evisa and put that you're applying through Italy.
