Soon I will be 80 years old. I'm a beginner for Muay Thai. I don't know if it is allowed to fight with the girls. I will asked "The Venum" Soi Khopai 12 (Pattaya). I will do it with very soft power.

Soft power activities or education needs to be related to Thai culture, I'm afraid a diving course has no distinct Thainess attribute.

Muay Thai,Thai cuisine, Education and seminars
Sports, Medical treatment, Events related to art and music. Need to show dates, details of activity, payment, letter of confirmation etc.

"been out here nearly full 60 but want to stay longer the dtv is my only option" - just be sure you understand that you need to leave, in order to apply for the DTV. You can't do it in Thailand.Andi ***********
@Benjamin *******
Check with the embassy if they accept the sport though. Each embassy approves differently, don't pay for a course without knowing the embassy will accept the sport.Yiba *******
@Benjamin *******
