For family reasons I need to travel often to and from the states. They said I could do one week at a time for as long as I needed. In other words, no need to do all the weeks right in a row. Plus.... I don't think you can fail. It's cooking, you eat what you cook. Lol

What you typed above is exactly what they sent you. The DBD(the one all in Thai) document shows they're registered.

No. That's the application fee. (Or something close to that depending on where you apply). You'll have an extension cost of 1900 baht and a border bounce/crossing to do every year for five years.

You can still get a five year multiple entry visa. I visited a cooking school yesterday, paid for classes, got the paperwork needed for the DTV and will be applying in Laos on September 10th. The cooking school I used here in Bangkok said they already had four other students get the DTV with their classes.

Once here you can get a new passport at your embassy (if you have one in Thailand) then transfer the visa and respective stamps to the new passport. It's a standard process here. The visa is five years in length.
