TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discussion indicates that there is currently no comprehensive list of schools or activities certified for the DTV visa in Pattaya. Suggestions include a few Muay Thai gyms and a cooking school, although specific names are not provided. Additionally, it's emphasized that the Royal Thai Police Immigration Bureau does not oversee DTV certifications, and for educational purposes, options include enrolling in a university for formal education or finding specific schools for short-term courses.

I do not think anyone has created any list. Too much hassle for what return? Off top of my head I think a couple of Muay Thai Gyms and a cooking school in Pattaya Area. (Although that does not come up in a search now).

The Royal Thai Police Immigration Bureau has NOTHING to do with issue of the DTV and nothing to do with certifying schools.

IF you want to learn, enroll in a University and get 4 years of college.

If you want a short term course, find a school who provide what you want to learn and get the Non Immigrant ED visa or any other legal stay.

There is NO need for a 5 year Visa to learn 1 day cooking.
