Hello

Has anyone used petchnumnoi Muay Thai gym in Phuket before? I’m thinking of booking a DTV course with them but haven’t seen any posts on here about this gym.

Thank for any advice

Question re Thai DL extension in Phuket. After the first 2 years we have to extend our Thai DL in December. There is no possibility to make an online appointment until next April 26. There must be an alternative option at the DLT phuket or? Can I collect all needed docs and got to DLT without the online appointment? Just stand in the row first thing in the morning? Thx for help

(we don‘t want to go to other provinces)

Hi everyone, soon I’ll be applying for the DTV for Muay Thai in Jakarta. My flight is round-trip to Phuket, and my Muay Thai school will be in Chiang Mai.

Before going to Chiang Mai, I’ll spend a few days in Phuket.

So, I’m adding the accommodation in Phuket — do you think it will be a problem since the Muay Thai school is in Chiang Mai?

Thank you

For those of you in Thailand on a DTV visa — is Rawai a good place to base yourself as this is where I’ve seen a decent Muay Thai gym under the soft power visa, or would you recommend another area of Phuket?

While I’m out there, I’d love to connect with others into fitness/gym life and digital nomads. Would you recommend renting a motorbike or a car, and what are the typical costs? I know motorbikes are easy to rent, but I only have an international driving license (not a motorbike one), so I’m not sure how that works.

Same with accommodation — did you sort it once you arrived or book in advance? Roughly what are the monthly costs for a decent place in Phuket?

Also, how did you go about meeting like-minded people? I’d like to avoid feeling isolated, as I’m moving from the UK and hoping to meet people into fitness, good vibes, and community.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated as I’m getting flights to Phuket booked and sorting putting things into storage back home in the UK currently preparing to move. Thanks in advance!

Dear friends! I’m thinking to apply for DTV in Phuket. Would you recommended me any Soft Power classes over there if any especially for cooking class? Also do I have to prove 3 months statement of just screenshot of balance while applying with the embassy in Vietnam! Thank you 😊

Hi all, I tried using Sinbi Muay Thai gym in Rawai for the soft power visa however they advised that they stopped providing supporting documentation for the soft power visa.

Can anybody recommend a high quality Muay Thai gym in Phuket that is offering the supporting documentation for the soft power DTV visa please?

Hi all.

I have a marriage visa that I need to do my first extension of in December. The original visa was processed in Phuket, so the CM immigration office has told me I need to go there to do my first yearly extension. As for documents etc. are they the same as when I applied on the first place e.g. photos of us in the house? And if so, does immigration need to visit the house again (because we live in CM now, that might be an issue).

Thank you for any advice you can give.
