Yes I know someone who got a same day tourist visa two weeks ago from the Bangkok Embassy.

It does seem that the visa on arrival will remain suspended for the foreseeable future. The Gov't had a meeting with tour operators recently and they all agreed that until there are more hotel rooms it would not be sensible to reinstate the visa on arrival as there is a real risk that tourist would arrive and not be able to find anywhere to stay. So for the time being everyone will have to continue to get their visas before coming.
