ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information about soft power activities in Khon Kaen that qualify for the DTV visa, other than Muay Thai and cooking. They are interested in learning the Thai language, culture, attending festivals, and exploring Buddhism. However, it appears that Muay Thai is the only officially recognized soft power activity for DTV, while other activities like cooking or language learning haven't been confirmed as qualifying. Suggestions include looking into the ED visa for language classes, but there seems to be concern about potential restrictions similar to those faced by the ED visa.
