What is a good muay Thai school in bangkok to go to for dtv for 3 months?

Is it better to get soft power or remote worker.?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around potential Muay Thai schools in Bangkok suitable for a 3-month DTV visa, with recommendations for places like Tiger Eye Martial Arts. However, several comments suggest that obtaining a DTV for such a short period can be challenging, recommending instead a METV or considering a remote work visa that offers more flexibility. Many participants mention that the current standard for DTV is around 6 to 9 months, indicating frustrations with the visa process for short-term training. Overall, securing a remote work visa appears to be the more advantageous option.

You’ll get a METV book and pay for at least 9 months and no guarantee there

When it comes to that visa, are you locked into 1 gym, or can you move around throughout the 5 years?

You don't need a DTV for 3mths get a METV which you will likely receive with a 3mth DTV application.. Get Remote work for 5 years DTV or a 9mth plus SP course. Tiger Eye is a reputable BKK MT school

OP
KnowledgeableRaccoon5198 I'm definitely at looking registering my business for remote work. In my dtv visa the soft power is basically you paying more. Remote and your making money and not needing to spend on a course
