Is applying for a 'soft power' visa simpler than a 'workcation' visa in Thailand?
Is applying for “soft power” the more simpler route compared to “workcation”? For those of you who applied for soft tower, do you have to be constantly enrolled for the class to keep your visa? How much scrutiny is involved,or is it just a one time thing and then go about your business?
I will assume it’s not as easy as it sounds, otherwise everyone would be doing it.
I’d love to hear input from people with firsthand experience.

Use whatever works for you. I would think that if you actually work remotely online then that's likely the "easier" route as you don't need to do anything new like prepare any new documents, find a Muay Thai gym, etc.

Apply using the route for your purpose. If you want to work remotely from Thailand then apply using the Workation route
