Soft power with Discover Thai Nature
No additional documents requested. Birth date, passport number, expirations all correct, 500k in the account with 3 months provided. Same soft power invitation that others were successful with prior to the new year.
I went to the embassy in person to try to talk to someone and they just kept saying to apply online and call the phone number. They also said just fly to Bangkok and they will sort me out at the airport (lol). When you call the phone number it just hangs up when you request to speak to an operator.
You can see through the window that they are just eating oranges and playing iPhone games.
Some reports of others as well just being arbitrary rejected for all soft power ever since the change to 10 business days processing time.
