ORIGINAL POSTERasking for my son who is studying MuayThai. Are people still being successful with Ed visas since DTV came in please? he would have all the necessary docs from his Gym in Phuket.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the current status of Education (ED) visas for Muay Thai training in light of the recent introduction of the Digital Nomad (DTV) visa in Thailand. Commenters clarify that ED visas remain available and successful applications depend on securing a supporting school or gym willing to provide the necessary documentation, which is separate from any issues related to the DTV visa.

What do you mean by being successful? Nothing has changed with ED visas, they're still available same as they were before DTV. Someone posted that they were having trouble finding a school that would support the ED visa rather than the DTV visa, but that's a school issue not a visa issue. If you find a school/gym that will support an ED visa then you'll be successful.
