Switching from 1 to another doesn't really sound like a genuine application, rather you're just looking at ways to stay long term in thailand

Cooking or Muay Thai. You just have to commit to the classes, pay for them upfront, and get a letter from the school of your registration.

The classes can be taken at your leisure, but have to be completed within the given time frame.

. They offer 9-month and 12-month Thai cooking programs for DTV under Thai Soft Power and can also provide visa support. Might be a good option if the Workcation route didn’t work for your case.

I've never seen them give a reason. Usually it's just a rejection. And no cause or explanation

Wow, it's nice that they gave you the option to switch. Usually they just reject it and then you have to apply and pay again.

Agree! Partially getting there at long last. However, if they had stated why the Workcation application 'didn't meet the criteria' the OP may have been able to fix it.

Sign up for a cooking course of 9 months or longer with an approved course provider. They will provide the documents you need to upload
