TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster (O/P) is concerned about applying for a visa to Thailand after facing three rejections and having dealt with fraudulent visa stamps in their old passport, which they have since replaced. The comments discuss the implications of their extensive travel history and the chances of their application being impacted by past issues. While some suggest applying for a visa directly or consulting with the Thai embassy, there is a general consensus that the O/P's previous experiences may raise red flags for Thai immigration officials.

okay, and after that oh-so lengthy yet mostly useless interaction we're done.

The O/P needs to apply thru VFS Global for their visa

If you can afford to travel that much why not just get the elite visa, problem solved

Elite visa is $3000 a year, if you break it down. For someone of means, that's not a lot of money to remove all hassles. You want no hassles at all? Elite visa.

The Elite visa isnt for investment, but It might solve your problems, especially as you've already stated, money isnt one of them.

I think you already aware that all Indian Passport holders get visa through VFS Global and from India only. So get papers ready as per guidelines on this site here -

In case you are not in New Delhi then you can check VFS site for their other visa offices in other cities.

The process at VFS office in new Delhi is seamless. Just show up with papers and submit them, they will verify if all in place and even consult you and advice you if any paper is short. You actually do not need any agent for getting visa for thailand if you use VFS directly as they are the biggest government authorized agents for visa of most countries. Go the right way and you will surely get a legit visa.

Guys, before you judge read please. He came to Thailand many times, he got rejected visa because just back from Thailand and a nearly full passport. He went to other agency and the gave him fake Non B Visa stamps which he never ever used to entry Thailand. Now new passport, so when he has a legit official Visa he can come to Thailand without problems.

He was denied a visa 3 times, than handed over his passport to someone and got a fake visa stamp by fraud. He did not mention in the beginning he used it or not, If used he will be noticed by Immigration, but later he mention I never ever used the fake stamps. Yes, I agree I should have asked before if he used the fake visa stamps and got arrested for it.
