The DTV details are on the thai embassy E visa website. The only soft power activities than can be used for a DTV are Muay thai, hospital or dental treatment plan and a cooking class. These all need to be for a reasonable period of time ~ 6 months and the provider needs to be accredited so they can provide documentation that is acceptable to the thai authorities. Learning thai language is not one of those activities that is accepted by the DTV
