TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation revolves around a user's inquiry about using attendance at a music festival as a reason to apply for a visa to Thailand. Comments suggest skepticism about this approach, with no known cases of approval based solely on music festival attendance. Participants emphasize the importance of being a participant rather than just an attendee and express frustration over the leniency of visa application criteria.

Yep... give away a 5-year-visa to someone who attends a 5 day festival, why not? We had one time dentist appointments already, 3 day cooking classes and f@ke Gym/Muay Thai classes. Why not just open the border for everyone...? 🙄🤔🤨😒

certainly seems to be the case, doesn’t it? But don’t worry, some poor guy who’s married to a Thai lady or retired here will be doing cartwheels now tomorrow at the local immigration. Just trying to get a one year stamp.

There is no person until now that has got it based on music festivals.

You should have sent them an email before

Anonymous participant so you're applying via soft power - music festival or just asking online about this option, less than 24 hour before you apply 🤔?
