For info - on Thaivisa - but I wouldn't know how accurate, true, all of them, some of them, etc etc
"So the news is that on 27 of May the Thai consulates will no longer be allowed to issue any visas, COE or notarise any documents. Don't know if this is applicable to every consulate out there but it seems to be. Hence the only place that will still issue them will be a Thai Embassy, which is of course not located in every country."
(A 1-year visa via the Hull consulate used to be easy and welcoming).
