Thank you all for the tips! A little embarrassed to admit it, but it turned out to be my card 😅. My bank was declining the charge as suspicious, but I’ve always been notified when that happens, for some reason I wasn’t this time.

I emailed the Los Angeles Thai Consulate to explain, and they actually approved and sent my visa within minutes because of the inconvenience. So I guess it all worked out in the end!
