Anonymous participant I advice the person who asked the question.

I not care what other random people think if it suits their way of visiting Thailand.

There are about 67 million walking around in Thailand.

But it is possible to become a Thai citizen but not if you are a number in stead of having a name.

You must meet the requirements of the visa you apply for,

What you did in the past does not count
Robert *******
If you are 55 years young and not want to work while being in Thailand, apply for the Non Immigrant O visa and the 1 year Extension of Stay.

You can train or cook at any school when ever you like and where you like, while enjoying being retired in Thailand.
Robert *******
You are restricted with the choose of location.

It is not you who decide.
Robert *******
As you can only apply outside Thailand, I guess the best option is to start searching in the county where you like to apply.
Robert *******
No, you can not get any special treatment by telling the Embassy you only booked 10 days.

You apply and wait until the visa is issued before return to Thailand.
Robert *******
Apply for a tourist visa, gives you 60 days on entry and extend with 30 days.

Makes it 90 days, much cheaper and you can visit the cooking school.
Robert *******
The chance is and stays
*****
, your history does not change it.

50% chance to get it issued and 50% chance to get it denied.

As there are only two options, issue or denied.
Robert *******
It must be issued 2 Dec. If not call the Embassy and tell them that I said they have to issue the visa directly. If they do not listen, at least I tried.
