I was approved yesterday for a two week cooking course. The accredited school I found, the only one in Bangkok, doesn’t offer a course longer than 1 month.
Savings account showed activity, plus current balance, which I should have mentioned. The activity part likely doesn’t matter, although it showed contributions, which I’m sure didn’t hurt.
Not knowing how it will play out is also something to consider.
I find it hard to believe that two weeks of cooking classes will carry someone over for 5 years. Requiring fresh courses, doctor’s appointments, etc. is a guaranteed way to make money for Thai businesses.
I find it hard to believe they won’t do that but we’ll see.
