Vientiane needs an appointment, and Savannakhet is walk-in. Why don't you join the DTV Facebook Group?

yes you must apply outside of Thailand. However it is not limited to your home country. You can apply on Thai embassies and consulates in many other countries as well. Even when some are now connected to the E-visa system - if you can prove you have entered the specific country, you are allowed to apply
and for the 2000.- THB they will only receive 15 days, doh, uh . . and that's not what Chris Wright will get upon entry. He expects to receive a 60 days stay permit when he arrives WITHOUT a visa
no, it is a simple stamp that says "admitted until" and this stamp is NOT a visa at all. It is a "stay permit" for 60 days. A Thai "visa-on-arrival" must be bought for 2000.- THB inside the airport before entering Thailand, and it's mandatory for 31 countries but NOT for English citizens
