I did an ED Visa with Chakrit a couple of years ago. Yes it is registered with the MOE. and yes, their english is basic, but they're muay thai trainers, not language teachers! When i was there, his niece(?) was working there organising most of the paperwork, and her english was a bit better. But the process is as Tod has said. In the end i couldn't take those chaeng wattana visits, and so still opted to instead visit neighbouring countries on a short weekend getaway, rather than lose the will to live getting to the govt office and back. Good luck with it all :) They're good trainers, and it's a good workout.

Sam English the duration is the same as any education visa. The fee I can't say; I did it in 2015-2016 so not sure what the price is anymore. It was quite reasonable tho, considering you're getting a visa, and the better part of a year's muay Thai training as well

no set times, you can just rock up whenever they're open and whichever trainer was free, woukd for the session with you. As a visa student, there's a register you sign on arrival each time to record your attendance, for the benefit of when immigration come to check the school

Nitzan Kon it's dependent on the immigration rules. There's a minimum no of hrs lessons you're meant to do a week, similar to the Thai language classes. Best to check the most up to date immi regs. Or contact the school direct and ask them prob best

He'd have to go x no of times a week, but it'd be a good workout, good break from studying, and still leave plenty of time for the studying. I did the same at one point

I did it with them a few years back. It's legit. You have to attend a minimum no of sessions a week for the visa, which was included in the price. They do follow procedure and they did have an immi officer come and visit at times. They had a register you sign each time to show your attendance. Paperwork is all done, but you need to be aware yourself of what /when you're required to go to immigration etc. I went to chaengwattana one time, and made sure I had pics on my phone of the training so I could show the officers if they questioned (which they did). But they were more amused than anything; I think it was just a nice change for them from all the language students they get
