at phuket king muay thai. He sorted my dtv visa within 5 days for me in Laos. Stress free service through his gym. I hear that they are more strict with cooking classes because such short courses can be done with ED visa or tourist visa especially when your only signing up for 2 weeks. You have more chance of getting approval for 6 - 12 month classes. I just provided my bank statement and passport and Tom did the rest for me.
