Following all the posts in this group, I have seen some who are not interested or able to register as nomad digital workers to apply for this visa.
Remember there are other alternatives listed as Thai Soft Power Activities
So if you do not work online but want to apply, you can still qualify for the Thailand DTV Visa if you plan to engage in “Thai Soft Power” activities. These include:
Muay Thai courses
Thai cooking courses
Sports training
Medical treatment
Seminars
Music festivals
I have now made contact with a school for this cookery course in the north eastern province of Khon Kaen. Been there with my friend Wanida Somruecha for a meeting and tour of the facilities. This gives a different environment to engaging in this course in a city like Bangkok for instance. It is a small family run business on the outskirts of the city, but easy access to shopping malls, night markets etc. They also offer a mixed dormitory bed included in the price or help find accommodate nearby for 600 baht per night.
Classes are for a max of 5 students so you get the upmost attention to gain that extra knowledge too.
