Applying for a Japanese visa on the road as a non resident

Applying for a Japanese visa on the road as a non resident - People Walking on Street Near Buildings

I'm currently in Bangkok (with tourist visa), as part of my long term travel.
I'd like to go to Japan in one or two month, and as an Indonesian national, I need a visa to enter Japan (I have non biometric passport/epassport).

Being in long term travel, I would be the best for me to get a visa on the road, and I'm thinking of applying here in Bangkok.
However, from this information: http://www.th.emb-japan.go.jp/en/consular/visa1.htm, I need to be a Thai resident.

Can I apply for Japanese visa here in Bangkok?
If I can't, is there any nearby countries where I can apply for Japanese visa as a non resident?
Or must I just go back to Jakarta and make an arrangement there?
