Yoga for DTV? I'm not seeing any clear evidence its possible. Anyone done this?
Summary so far
The conversation discusses the eligibility of using yoga as a soft power activity for the DTV visa in Thailand. The consensus among the comments is that yoga does not qualify as it is not considered a traditional Thai cultural activity. Participants suggest that activities like Muay Thai, Thai cooking, or medical activities are accepted. The conversation highlights the challenges in finding suitable activities for the DTV visa and emphasizes the importance of meeting the specified qualifications.

What does yoga have to do with Thai culture? The softpower classes are for Thai culture classes like Muay Thai, Thai cooking classes, and Thai language classes. Not for just any random thing.

As far as i've heard, its only muay thai, thai cooking, or medical, and they want you to show you've already booked for 6 months. Thats the hard part about dtv. I just bit the bullet and paid like 700cad for 6 months of muay thai group classes i'll never go to.
