Where should I apply for a Thai DTV visa if I am a UK resident currently not in the UK?

John **********

You must apply using the Thai consulate that serves your current location. Some consulates restrict applications to residents, so if you are not you would have to travel elsewhere to apply. Once you've applied you need to remain in that location until the visa process completes

Freetrade won't work, you need the funds in a standard bank account. You should also show your earnings via invoices matched up with incoming funds in your bank to prove your income. And if you are registered to pay tax or have tax returns include that
