TLDR : Answer Summary

To bring your mum along while you attend culinary school in Thailand, she can apply for a short stay tourist visa or a DTV (Education Visa) if she enrolls in classes herself. The type of visa may depend on her nationality and the length of her stay.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
