Hello all. 

Regarding the "Music festvals" claus. what exactly does that entail? 

also, could I go to school for music and qualify that way? 

according to [members only]/ it states participation in local music festivals, does this mean performing?

Summary so far

The poster seeks clarification on the 'Music Festivals' clause related to visa rules in Thailand, specifically whether it involves actively performing at festivals or if attending school for music qualifies. The responses indicate uncertainty about this clause and suggest it may be a vague or underutilized aspect of Thai visa criteria.

It's a totally unknown soft power activity... suggest you AVOID IT. Stick with the well known successes in the soft power activity.
