What soft power activities qualify for DTV in Thailand beyond Muay Thai and cooking?
What are examples of soft power activities that have qualified for DTV besides Muay Thai and cooking? I will be living in Khon Kaen and am interested in learning the language and culture, attending festivals, visiting temples and learning more about Buddhism. I haven’t found anything at Khon Kaen University (I think I need to learn from a Thai language tutor and immersion before taking a college class offered in Thai).
Suggestions?

Summary so far
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.

Muay Thai is the only one I have head of actually being approved. Cooking / language etc were talked about but I have never heard of anyone being actually given one. If you want to do language or cooking the old ED visa does the job.
If you do go for soft power expect the same crackdown to come along that hit the ED visa this year.
