TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently in Thailand on a tourist visa and wants to know the best nearby country to apply for a Muay Thai visa (DTV visa) while having their documents ready. Community responses suggest applying at the embassy in Jakarta as a straightforward option, while cautioning against applying in Cambodia due to a lengthy processing wait. Alternatives include applying in Laos (with an appointment) or in Vietnam, where reports indicate quicker processing times of 2-3 days.
Avoid Cambodia as they just announced a 10 day wait. You can either apply in Laos with an appointment in person, or go to Vietnam as I've seen a good report of getting it in 2-3 days, but I forget which embassy it was in Vietnam through e-visa. Also Taipei has good reports but it's a little bit further out.
I did mine in Jakarta. On medical grounds, but should be similar. Was very straight forward. No appointment needed, walked in Monday morning. Picked up following Thursday afternoon. Spent maybe 15 min in total at the embassy.
