Up to you, but directly from the Thai Embassy in London website in the English language version:

"...

1.) All applicants must be residing within the UK/Ireland/UK territories when apply for the Visa. The Royal Thai Embassy has the right to cancel the visa applications should you fail to provide the evidence of your presence within the UK/Ireland/UK territories while applying for the visa.

...

2.) The Royal Thai Embassy, London reserves the right to request additional documents / interview in person at the Royal Thai Embassy, London, and amend visa categories as deemed necessary as well as reject any application without prejudice.

...

3.) The applicants must provide genuine documents and information. If the applicants are found to provide false documents or give false information, their applications will be rejected and be reported for further determination of appropriate action and future prohibition to enter the Kingdom of Thailand.

Well, what country's passport specifically are we discussing about?

Generally, many people from nearly all countries have lived and are living in various countries around the world for decades, some continuously moving and have been able to renew their passport at their own country's embassy/consulate for decades without problems at different locations, so dunno what this inquiry about passport "status" is all about???

for example, French Passports

No, whether it is Thai DTV, Thai Non–O, Thai Non–OX, Thai Non–OA, Thai Non–B, Thai Non–F, etc. have yet to hear of any Thai Immigration Officer at Arrival for Entry into Thailand ask for Bank Statements, or any Immigration Officer of any ASEAN country for that matter....

if a Thai E–Visa applicant is located in Đà Nẵng, then the Thai E–Visa application needs to be submitted to the Thai Consulate in Hồ Chí Minh City, not the Thai Embassy in Hà Nội

in order to get the maximum benefit of that 2nd Year, don't forget to have a fresh insurance policy validity for a full year before entering Thailand on the last entry of the original validity of the Non–OA.

Then, after making entry into Thailand, don't forget to obtain a Re–Entry Permit (Single or Multiple) before exiting Thailand in order to continue to make use of that 2nd Year

Where is this Thai Embassy/Consulate?

it would be nice for the Thai Immigration Bureau to give more clarification about those holding Thai E–Visa PDF's, those holding the remaining Thai Visa Stickers, and of course, those with Thai Visa's issued in-country by the local Thai Immigration Offices to either have additional information fields to input Thai Visa details (if any), or perhaps waive or somehow incorporate and accommodate Thai Visa holders with this new TDAC:

as the old Immigration Bureau Order published in the Royal Gazette only discusses an "Electronic Arrival/Departure Card" replacing the Paper TM.6 for those on "Visa Exempt" and not much else more....
