TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand on a DTV visa with a focus on Muay Thai, the purpose of travel can typically be listed as 'holiday' or 'tourism.' Many users recommend indicating 'holiday,' as the DTV is essentially considered a tourist visa. Some comments also suggest flexibility in this regard, stating that it doesn't matter much what you put down.

 A 6 month course will get you a 5 year visa. No checks on attendance later on. You can also work remotely if you want.

 no you need to have signed up for a minimum of 6 months with a Muay Thai school, preferably longer, in order to apply for a DTV visa under the Muay Thai option. But if you intend to work remotely from Thailand you have to use the workation option
