ORIGINAL POSTER
Just wondering, i joined a muay thai course starting in the middle of May till nov 2025. So on my intended day of arrival and departure in online dtv visa form , the total duration is about 185 days which is more than 180 days . Because the course starts from 20 may till middle of November. So should i book confirmed return tickets or dummy will do also . Also for how many days i need to book the hotel in my case.

The user inquires about the visa requirements for attending a Muay Thai course in Thailand, specifically regarding the need for confirmed return tickets given a proposed stay of 185 days, which exceeds the typical 180-day allowance. The discussion includes considerations on whether a dummy ticket would suffice and how many days of hotel accommodation are necessary for visa approval.
