What are recent experiences with the DTV Soft Power route via wellness programs in Thailand?

Go to the group main page, use search tool and search the word "list" . You'll see two white spreadsheet posts come up in the results, the second one has a list of non Muay Thai activities.

Medical treatment is a real wellness program.

My question is, when looking up the DTV as a Visa, did you see the options for what could be a softpower?

Its mainly cooking or muay thai or medical treatment.

But there also have been an option called cultural.

Medical and cultural has been the hardest options in most embassies but there are success stories. But since they are clamping down and becoming more and more strict i would belive seeing most outside of cooking or muay thai is getting harder and harder. And not much options for DTV options here in Hua Hin. I think only option here is muay thai here and there is 2 approved gyms that i know off.

My recommendation is, if you can do workation instead of softpower, its worth the extra paperwork part for sure.

The DTV soft program is focused on “spreading” concepts that are specificity Thai. So any wellness program would need to be based on Thai culture. Not sure what you even have in mind theoretically
