If you have been approved for a Soft Power activity for example Muay Thai . 

Do you have to start the Muay Thai as soon as you get into Thailand 🇹🇭? 

Or can you just start in a few months once you have settled in ?

Answer summary

If you have been approved for a Soft Power activity like Muay Thai, there is no strict requirement to start immediately upon your arrival in Thailand. It's up to you to decide when to begin your training, and no one monitors your attendance. However, ensure that the gym you choose is okay with your start date, as they may include it in any official documents for visa purposes.

I think it doesn’t matter and it’s up to you . Nobody come to check if you train or not at the gym . But if you wish to start it later make sure that the gym would be ok . Not sure how the gym issue the paper for you but normally they will be time to start and end on the packages and on invitations letter to embassy would mention when you will start the gym which is not true 🤣

You're not technically even required to attend as it is "soft power" leisure/tourist activity.

There is no requirement to complete anything.

Like having a gym membership and never going, BUT you have a membership.
