TLDR : Answer Summary

Mike is planning to obtain a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand but needs recommendations for soft power activities, as his income does not qualify him for a remote work visa. The conversation includes inquiries about Thai language schools in Pattaya, suggestions for activities like Muay Thai, and discussions on the limitations of the DTV.

Why bother to buy a visa that does not allow you to work?

Keep doing what you are doing until you qualify to buy the correct visa and visit Thailand.

You do not need to work or do you think its not qualfiy for "remote work"

Giving advice is difficult if people change their way of thinking.

The DTV doesn't allow you to work from Thai companies or Thai clients, but you ARE allowed to make money online from companies or clients outside Thailand
