TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is planning to apply for a DTV visa in the USA to study Thai language in Hua Hin but is unsure about the necessary documents. Community comments suggest that studying Thai language may not qualify for a DTV visa, as it is not recognized by most US embassies, which may instead issue a 90-day education visa. Alternatively, pursuing a cooking course might be a valid route for the DTV visa due to its inclusion in specific soft power activities.

You have almost zero change of getting a DTV for studying Thai language. Because Thai language was not on the official infographic that the MFA released, there have only been a couple of reports of embassies accepting it. Most embassies will either just reject your application outright, or issue a 90-day education visa instead and keep the difference in fees.
