The prices have indeed been adjusted. A TB Immigration Info Brief has already been published on 01 September 2019. TB Immigration Info Brief 088/19 – Thai Visa – New Prices
As for returning the passport with visa. It is a pity that it is not possible from the embassy in The Hague. If I read it like this, this is possible at the Thai Consulate in Amsterdam.
Although, you have to take care of everything yourself if I read it like this. Well, at least it can.

You have to wait standing in a small warm room with (too) many people.
Can take up to an hour, very annoying!
Make sure everything is in order, they are very strict.
Dear Ronny, It is also not possible to have the passport sent by registered mail at the Embassy in Brussels. At the Consulate in Berchem, yes. I know this from experience, which is why I always go to Antwerp. I always have to go to Brussels twice, first to apply and then to collect the passport, because you cannot get the passport back the same day.
I don't need it anymore, but as far as I know that was always possible in Antwerp.
I don't know Brussels.
It is not possible to submit your application entirely by post. You will have to hand in the application to the embassy in person. You can return your passport after your visa application has been processed at the Thai embassy in The Hague. Of course costs € 10,– extra. Provide a self-addressed envelope; easy for the embassy.
I just did it again and the embassy returned it in 3 days. Only PostNL did make it “lost”, and I only found the passport after 2 weeks at a local post office. But of course the embassy can't help that; they were helpful in tracing the passport.
Complaint against PostNL is now pending.
At the consulate in Dublin the STEV costs € 40.- I sent this application on Monday and enclosed a stamped return envelope and had my passport including Visa returned on Friday.
Dortmund Germany ready within an hour super service
Single entry 60 days Tourist visa submitted last Monday 30-09 at the Thai Consulate in Amsterdam. Received a neat return on Wednesday evening 02-10 via registered mail from post.nl. Costs 35,00 euros plus 10 euros for the registered document. Friendly lady, good waiting area, 1 person before me and no one after me. Recommended.
Dear bloggers, In Berchem, Antwerp, it costs 15 euros to return the passport by registered mail, at the Embassy in Brussels it cannot be sent, you have to return there the next day to collect your passport! INCOMPREHENSIBLE! At the Embassy and Consulate in Belgium the prices for different Visas also differ compared to the Netherlands and also different rules of proof of income, pension and the like. A Thai simply cannot resist applying his own rules, just take the differences at the Immigration Offices in Thailand as an example!
Dear vacationers,
I live in Amsterdam and just checked what the situation of a 60-day Thailand entails.
You can arrange your application in person or by post at the Thai Consulate in Amsterdam. The costs for a 60-day visa are 30 euros.
The Hague is difficult. Amsterdam is a bit more pleasant.
The decision is up to you.
Have a good trip and enjoy.
Regards Stephen
Dear Stephan,
Nowhere does it say that you can handle the "complete" procedure by post.
It only says "If you want to send your passport with the visa by registered mail, you must submit your visa application at least two weeks before departure at the Thai Consulate in Amsterdam. The Thai Consulate in Amsterdam will deliver the registered mail to
PostNL.”
“Your passport with the visa in it..” In that case, that means that it is about returning it.

The prices of the “Tourist visa” have been adjusted to 35 Euro (instead of 30 Euro) since the beginning of September. So I suspect that their website has not been updated, rather than that a visa there would be 5 Euro cheaper than in the embassy of The Hague.
The price with Belgium differs.

For your information. It also says:
“If you enter Thailand by land, boat, train, bicycle, car, bus, etc., and your stay is shorter than fifteen (15) consecutive days, you do not need a visa.
You may enter Thailand by land, boat, train, bicycle, car, bus, etc. twice per calendar year without a visa with a maximum stay of fifteen consecutive days. This only applies to tourism.”
Those 15 days are wrong. Also by land, boat, one now obtains 30 days as a Dutch/Belgian. That has been the case since January 2017.
I have already forwarded it to the consulate, apparently updating the website is not a priority.

Great that you live in Amsterdam, but you can also view that website outside Amsterdam 😉
