TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry about an official list of approved muay thai or cooking schools qualifying for the DTV Softpower visa revealed that no centralized list exists due to varying acceptance criteria among different embassies. Recommendations from users included ensuring muay thai gyms have a certificate from the Sport Authority of Thailand to simplify the DTV application process. Specific schools mentioned include Dowden Muay Thai and Speak Now School by Mind Your Language Thailand.

No, there is no list. It would be impossible because some activities are accepted by some embassies while not accepted by other embassies.
