Does anyone know *definitely* which schools/academies fulfill the Culinary Arts training requirement for the DTV? I'm specifically interested in Krabi Provence, Bangkok and Phuket, in that order.

Also, does the period of study have to be of a certain length?

(I see plenty of 1-day and 1/2-day courses offered at the Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy.)

And just fyi, ChatGPT references The Blue Elephant as a possibility. I've just received word from them that they are not registered with the Ministry of Education, and so they do NOT meet the DTV requirement. Which is a shame, because their courses and facilities look pretty bangin'.... 😃

I would like to travel around Thailand November 1. I live in Pattaya and fully vaccinated. However, my Thai travel partner has only her first vaccine and not expected to have her second until middle of November.

Are we able to get into:

Krabi?

Koh Samui/Koh Tao?

Koh Lipe?

Anybody know?
