DTV language visa in Chiang Mai

Does anyone have a recommendation for soft power language in Chiang mai?

Ive seen a few of the muay thai ones within CNX - was wondering if there was a similar priced language one.

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses options for language studies in Chiang Mai that qualify for a DTV visa. Recommendations include TSL Chiang Mai, which offers a DTV program that combines both language and Thai culture studies, as exclusively studying the Thai language does not meet DTV visa requirements. It's important to ensure that the chosen program has experience with sponsoring DTV students.

Be aware that the study of Thai language is not eligible for the DTV visa.

A COMBINATION of Thai language study AND Thai Culture study is eligible for the DTV visa.

Make sure the Soft Power Activity sponsor has experience and successfully sponsored students with the needed documents to be submitted with your DTV Visa Application.
