TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether it's possible to obtain a DTV visa in Thailand by training in CrossFit instead of the traditional Muay Thai. Most comments indicate that the DTV visa must be associated with a Thai cultural activity, specifically requiring certification in Muay Thai. Some users suggest that while one could engage in CrossFit, the visa itself will likely only be granted through recognized Muay Thai training. A few commenters express skepticism regarding how CrossFit aligns with the Thai cultural criteria needed for the visa.
Yep... it depends (a bit) on the Embassy where you apply... some take it, some don't. Same with medical appointments and/or cooking class. Some are okay with 14 days, others want to see at least 3 month. And so on...
I think Crossfit might work. I know Phuket Beach Volleyball Club has real training packages for the DTV and it works. Crossfit is an actual sport. For a gym to call themselves a Crossfit gym or use the word Crossfit in their gym name they need to be registered with the worldwide governing body of Crossfit. If the gym in Thailand is a real accredited Crossfit gym then I think it could be used for the DTV in the same way beach volleyball is used cause it's a sport.
The DTV does state sports training as one of the options.
I think most people don't realise that Crossfit is an actual sport and just think of it as a normal gym
