Hi all. I am attempting this for a second time as last time I was rejected when I applied in Vietnam. 

This time I am doing it as a soft power Muay Thai but not sure what to put under occupation? Any suggestions would be great

You’re applying for a tourist visa so presumably you have a job?

Why did you get rejected the first time? I’m currently in Vietnam waiting and I’m thinking I’m might need to do a similar path as you. When you got rejected, did you have any issues entering Thailand again without the visa? Can you easily get another 60 days?

If you will work remotely from Thailand you should apply using the Workation option. Soft Power doesn't provide a legal basis to work

Unemployed can work if you can show how you can support yourself outside of the 500K Baht requirement such as being sponsored by someone. Are you related to Ted Nugent?
