DTV Question

If I am doing culture classes for 6 months with a language school. Do I have to continue classes the whole 5 years for my Visa to stay valid?
Answer summary
The user inquired whether it is necessary to continue culture classes for the entire duration of a 5-year visa in Thailand after completing 6 months of classes. The response clarified that continued attendance in classes is not required, especially if the user chooses the option of an extension instead of leaving the country for a border run at 180 days.
