TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a study visa (ED Visa) through a school in Pattaya, which will expire in November 2023. They are seeking advice on potential options for visas after their current one ends. There is mention of an unofficial business visa that costs about 60,000 THB, but the user is looking for other suggestions. Additionally, a comment highlights the uncertainty in planning due to potential immigration policy changes.

It's actually quite difficult to plan that far ahead because we don't know what immigration crackdowns will happen or what laws might change between now and then. The business visa may not be an option at all like the volunteer visas now.

- yes you can do. My cambodian girlfried did this a few years back and yes can change languages so long as school has classes. Worth checking with your school.
