I'm not gonna lie: Jakarta is super wild

It's not about the crime rate or inappropriate manners but one has to face that it's a threshold country and Jakarta has 35 mio. inhabitants (over 150 mio. on Java island in total).

The DTVisa application was the only reason why I came to Indonesia and I chose Jakarta because I couldn't estimate if the embassy might invite me to a personal appointment in order to receive the wished visa or not. They didn't and I was just lucky to be not too far from Jakarta airport to make it back to Thailand again.

I did add it to the post. Have a look at the last line.

It seems to be common sense, that Thai Embassys will always accept documents written in Thai or English, regardless where you apply. This is not a first hand information, but it kind of says that on most websites that I have looked up so far (y)
