help visa applying inThailand

I would think if you were phill applying in Thailand the embassy might think it strange unless you had a good reason to be there ie work or residence.

Yes, it's usually not allowed to request a visa (outside from tourist one) if you're not resident (meaning for someone holding a tourist visa). They will surely ask to apply from the usual residency country.

Its a tourist one he wants enough Brits have been dooing the border run to not make it that strange and I suppose it does mean he is already a tourist
