TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the eligibility of Manna Thai School in Pai for a DTV visa, which allows for the study of Thai language. Responses indicate that the Thai language alone typically doesn't qualify for a DTV visa; instead, a combination of Thai language and culture courses is required. Recent changes from the Thai Embassy suggest that language schools may face increased rejections for DTV applications.

Previously it was working

But end of 2025 and now majority of Thai Embassy gives rejection if they see in documents *Language School*

Better find some Thai Cooking School.

Nope... Thai language study alone is not allowed for the DTV visa.

IT must be a soft power activity which is eligible for the DTV visa. A combination of Thai language AND Thai Culture course of study is being approved for the DTV visa.

Usually Thai language can’t be used for DTV. This school is offering an ED visa
