TLDR : Answer Summary

The recent changes indicate that immigration officers may now assess the language proficiency of students on Thai class visas by engaging them in conversations during the visa process. This raises questions about the procedures for other types of classes, like Muay Thai, and how they might be evaluated.

It just means that if you take a Thai class the immigration officer will ask you normal questions in Thai to calculate your language learning skills…but I wonder if you take a Muay Thai class if they will bring in a Muay Thai fighter to spar with you at immigration to test your Muay Thai combat skills .
