I'm going to Las Vegas for 1 month and then flying back to Bangkok. I'm curious if there is any added benefit for using the student visa by enrolling in a school and learning Thai as opposed to just getting a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the advantages of using a student visa (ED visa) to learn Thai versus opting for a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for an extended stay in Thailand. While the student visa offers the benefit of language learning, the METV allows for a longer stay (up to 270 days) without the requirement to attend classes. Ultimately, the choice depends on the individual's interest in learning Thai and their travel plans.
