House of Taste Thai Cooking School -- Is this school credible for DTV and its cooking class?

I googled around and found this cooking school. I found there are over thousands of 5-star Google Reviews. I visited the school in Sukhumvit a few days ago and only found a few students studying there. The teacher, who is called Jay, said it's a low season but she was unable to explain any questions about DTV. Only her colleague on Whatsapp can explain the visa application.

I have searched this group with the name of the school, but I am keen to hear experience of DTV holders who got visas from this school in over past few months.

I am going to find the most credible way to get a DTV soon. Appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The House of Taste Thai Cooking School appears to be a credible option for those interested in obtaining a DTV visa, based on positive experiences from former and current students. While visiting the school, the inquirer noticed a low student turnout, but some comments mentioned that this might be due to seasonal fluctuations. Responses indicate that the school is legitimate and professional, with one commenter knowing a DTV holder who attends classes there and enjoys them. However, it was noted that the school's staff may not provide detailed visa application guidance, which might require seeking advice elsewhere.

Not sure why you expect the school to explain the visa application

Yes house of taste is legitimate and professional. They offer classes every day of the week which is why it probably seemed slow. I like slow, it would feel like private classes to me.

I know someone with the dtv who attends there and loves it.

The most reliable option for you would be to go for a workation. Many gyms are empty, even though some people here claim to be serious Muay Thai students. In reality, the situation isn’t much different from the ED visa system a few years ago and that’s not really a good sign, considering the ED visa was actually appreciated by all sides.

Anonieme deelnemer 873 Indeed, the majority of questions in this group is not how to get the right visa or even no visa at all for their course they like, but how to get the cheapest course to get a DTV visa, most of them want the course as short as possible, which suggests they plan to abuse the visa after the initial course.

In the meantime MFA will also have seen this I guess, and that makes it more and more difficult for applicants who really are serious about their soft power activity.

With the current prime minister DTV might be changed a lot or even disappear.

Is it Bangkok you need to be located? Chiang Mai has a cooking school that is very credible. The owner posts in this group.
