ORIGINAL POSTER

Greetings! I’m planning a year long trip to Thailand. Can anyone recommend any self defence (there’s one in Chiang Mai) or other courses (instead of Thai or Muay Thai) in Bangkok that would be eligible for the education Visa? 🇹🇭🙏🏽

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is seeking recommendations for self-defense or alternative courses in Bangkok that are eligible for an education visa, as they are planning a year-long trip to Thailand. Comments suggest a self-defense option in Chiang Mai and raise concerns about air pollution there. Additionally, alternatives such as tourist visas for the initial months of stay are mentioned.

For around first 6 months you should be able to use tourist visas (or multienty tourist visa for around 9 months).

I would stay away from Chiang Mai as the air pollution is ridiculous for a few months every year, and not that great the rest of the year.
