TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need to change your DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) to an Educational Visa in order to enroll in Thai language classes. It is possible to attend classes without altering your current visa.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

No, you can just go to classes without changing your visa type. I also have a DTV and I'm taking Thai classes just so I can speak Thai better.
