It's currently taking two to three weeks to obtain a UK Visa, dtails are here, http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/countries/thailand/?langname=UK%20English plently of posts on the subject, have a read and come back with any specific questions.

The Schengen Area is a different ball game, you should apply at the Consulate for your main destination of if there is no main destination, the Consulate for where you enter the Schengen Area, they do seem to be getting a bit tighter on the interpretation of this rule, well some are.
