TLDR : Answer Summary
During a visa interview for freelancing in Thailand, applicants can expect questions about their reasons for wanting to go to Thailand, specifics about their work, potential connections with Thai clients, and personal interests, such as cultural activities like Muay Thai. Questions may also include inquiries about finances, such as verification of funds.

They will ask. Why you wanna go to Thailand. Why you applied this embassy? Why you want to learn Muay Thai? What did you eat at morning and what will you eat at dinner?

I think they are randomly checking the soft option applications as they are the easiest to get through the hoop. Should have nothing to be concerned about, just be yourself and dress respectfully. Might want to see your bank balance is still showing a min of B500k or equivalent currency GL keep us all posted in due course.
