I live in California, she is located in Thailand. Which is the best
way to go?

Also, any particular hang up or things we should be prepared for since
she is from Thailand? I know they are really strict, one of my Thai
friends who is here on a student visa almost didn't make it despite
being accepted into UCLA and having plenty of money in the bank to
cover her stay here.

What is dcl?

The Chiangmai consulate does not have an IV unit - all K and immigrant visas are processed in Bangkok.
