If you do the softpower way lets say with muay thai, will they ask you for new course purchase once you fly back to thailand to get new stamp once your first 6 months are expired? How about the extension way at immigration?

I am planning to stay 6 months per year in thailand and fly back 6 months later

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the requirements for re-entering Thailand after a 6-month stay on a soft power visa, specifically related to Muay Thai courses. It is indicated that upon re-entry, it is currently not mandatory to show proof of a new course purchase, but for visa extensions, it may be required. Participants in the conversation express their experiences and concerns about future requirements that may arise.
