TLDR : Answer Summary
The 10,000 THB fee is a one-time charge for the five-year DTV visa. However, after 90 days, a report must be made to the local immigration office, and there are additional extension options available at a cost.
Do you have to do a new Muay Thai or cooking course every year or is it just pay the once

Yes, 10,000 THB for the five year DTV. After 90 days you must make a report to your local immigration office. You have a choice of applying for an extension after 180 days at your local immigration office for a fee of 1,900 THB. Otherwise, you must exit. After 360 days you must exit. Rinse and repeat.

Yes, only other fees are for in country extensions.
what is the 'in country ' extension? I understand that I'd need to leave after 180 days and then small allowed back in again for an180 days. (presumably if I have signed up for another 6 month course).
in country extensions are when you go to the local immigration office and resubmit all your original DTV paperwork to get a new 6 month stamp for 1900baht. Even the Immigration Officers suggest you simply exit and re-entry (no paperwork, no fee).
another question. Say the initial course i sign up for is only 6 months. If the visa is for 5 years I'll need to be finding some new course every 6 months?
