TLDR : Answer Summary
The question is whether a friend, who previously obtained an education visa in Vientiane, can apply for a new education visa to study Muay Thai at the same embassy. Responses emphasize the need for school support and documentation from the Ministry of Education, and considerations around the friend's current visa status in Thailand.

it has far more to do with their current entry history to thailand, like; are they living here on back to back visa exempt or tourist visas or what?

The earlier ED visa was gotten long enough ago not to have an issue if he uses Vientiane.

How many months has your friend been in Thailand in 2019?

let him first contact the school, the time that people could decide by themselve what kind of visa would be nice is gone. The school and the MInistry of Education need to provide documents needed to apply for a Non Immigrant ED visa.

the ministry of education and school will have the proper documents ready in the near future.

What does the school advise? My understanding is the school has to write a letter to the specific embassy asking for the ED visa. And, what is your friend's nationality?
