TLDR : Answer Summary

The topic of DTV (Digital Tourism Visa) courses for studying Thai is explored in the comments. While there are some offerings, such as cultural activity courses that may include Thai language, the general consensus is that these courses are not recognized for proper DTV purposes as defined by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Additionally, the comments mention that using an Education Visa (ED) is a better alternative for long-term study, as full-time language study typically falls under this category.

There are reports that some embassies have accepted it, but most will not because it's not on the list of soft power activities originally released by the MFA.

It would be so much less clutter in here if people did a little bit of research into things before they question about them

Anonymous participant It's impossible that you actually searched on Google Gemini and GPT. Because that is literally what the DTV was created for to learn Thai culture and the Thai language is the foundation of the culture.

Can I use a Thai Language Course for obtaining a DTV visa instead of a Retirement Visa?
