TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of changing from a Medical visa to an ED (Education) visa in Thailand. Comments reveal that Medical visas, particularly for tourism, have specific requirements and are not currently being issued except for urgent cases. Another user mentions having extended their Medical visa due to COVID-19 but is uncertain about the conversion process to an ED visa.

Tourist Medical visas are not being issued at this time...and when they are its only for urgent surgical need with referral from your doctor with medical records and approval by Thai doctor and hospital acceptance of you as a patient.

Its for a set time period following which you are to leave Thailand.

Suggest you search for another visa correct for your planned stay in Thailand.

What's a "Medical visa"? Is this something you got inside Thailand, or outside of Thailand?
