I don’t know the length of the course, but I assume it was 6 months. I’m angry that they threatened me for leaving a negative review about what they said.

@John ******

My friend wants peace of mind. He doesn’t want to have a big argument over money. The gym’s refund policy states they will return the money if the rejection is due to the gym’s documents, but the embassy never provides the reason for rejection. I contacted the embassy myself.

@John ******

First, the gym owner said that because I was in Bangkok and she was in Chiang Mai, I couldn’t do anything to her. If I wanted to talk with her about this case, I should fly to Chiang Mai to speak with her. I was upset that she said something like that. In my post, I never mentioned why my friend’s visa was rejected. I only emphasized that she spoke badly to me. That’s why I wanted to leave a negative review. And that’s wasn’t my visa. I’m Thai, and Thais don’t need a visa to stay in Thailand. It’s my friend in Chiang Mai whose visa was rejected, and the gym refused to refund the full amount even though it was promised.

Oh, you again? I’m Thai. Why would I ever have a reason to defame Thailand?

@Derek ****

Yeah, but this gym has offered this course length on their website, and some people did get approved for the DTV visa with that. However, my point is that the gym is trying to shut my mouth by using this law instead of explaining what it is, and they told me it was because I live far away. I’m Thai and I live in Bangkok.

@Us ****

I don’t think any Thais would sue a foreigner under defamation laws, to be honest.

I’m Thai and I’ve used this law against Thai people before, so I know it very well.

What I’m trying to say is the gym threatened me if I left a bad review. I didn’t go into his personal details because it’s not between him and the gym.

1. The embassy never responded with the reason why his visa was rejected.

2. The gym requires a statement saying the rejection was because of the gym.

3. I called the gym, and they told me that since I’m in Bangkok and they’re in Chiang Mai, there’s nothing I can do to them.

4. They said they would sue me if I left a negative review on Google Maps.

I emphasized points 3–4 because I believe the gym should have explained the situation to me instead of pointing out the distance between us.

The embassy gave him a tourist visa instead. When I asked the embassy for the reason, they told me they had already examined his case. I told this story to the agent, and the agent said that if the embassy rejects, they will give a 6-month tourist visa instead. I’m Thai, and this is a true story. To answer your question, his visa was REJECTED.

The embassy never states the reason why he was rejected, but the gym requires a paper from the embassy saying the rejection was because of the gym.
