If you are looking for a DTv. You need to do something of Thai tradition. Muay Thai. Thai culinary arts . Or to learn the Thai language. This is called Thai soft power and it falls into the dtv category. However if you want to just use fitness gyms you won't be granted a DTv.. so maybe look at a different type of visa. Non o. Or metv. Depends how long you want to stay ... I hope this helps.
Tiger MT in Phuket have a special weight loss program, and I would bet my back teeth they are DTV approved (for MT) I suspect an email to them might be fruitful.
Yes tiger muay Thai are . But they will not sign off on it if the poster doesn't want to train muay Thai. I no a lot of people on that street and no how it works .
You can message different muay thai gyms ( the ones who have normal gym facilities too) if they could compromise and give you credit instead to use gym membership and personal trainers) Is it legal? I guess not but it doesn't hurt anyone. Gyms still get your money and you get the wanted training. Before anyone comes at me, let's be honest a lot of thing here are corrupted. For examle the "fast track service" you pay agent to bribe the immigration to get you through immigration if you might have issues.
Anonymous participant you have the wrong impression of what is offered at a Muay Thai gym. You can do the exact workout/fitness routine you are looking for. The good gyms work at your pace, and patterned to what you want. Do not get the impression you must learn Muay Thai, and do extreme workouts. Most that have the dtv based on Muay Thai don't even go to school.
Thanks I mean I am open minded to a program if it’s lightly Muay Thai introduction with mostly working out. Muay Thai seems intimating but intriguing lol i feel like such an effeminate gay guy I feel really out of place doing that but would be nice to break out of my comfort zone (except im weary of signing up for something I wouldn’t end up liking)
Short answer is NO. If you wanna go to gym, you can go to whatever country you prefer. They have chosen Muay Thai cuz it's something typical of Thailand.
