TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about converting a tourist visa to an ED visa for online Thai language learning. Commenters clarify that online learning does not qualify for an ED visa, as the visa requires participation in in-person classes with a minimum weekly attendance.

Brandon ************

Online learning does not qualify for an ED visa. Online classes can be taken anywhere, and you don't need to be in Thailand to study online, so they won't provide an ED visa for that. For an ED visa you need to be taking an in-person class and be in the class a minimum number of hours per week.
