@David *****
that’s where you get your letter from an establishment that your practicing Muay Thai.

The paperwork is for a particular gym, so just concern about leaving the classes you’re supposed to be taking to justify the visa.

Like does that exist is what I’m asking.

We want to stay in Thailand year round, but need to take the required classes… but can’t be in Chiang Mai for burning season

right on.

But that’s not an issue for the classes one signed up for?

Like can you train Muay Thai for 9 months then just goto Phuket for the burning season without a problem for the classes/dtv requirements?

Anonymous participant 867 agreed. I’m wondering if that’s permitted on a dtv where you’re supposed to be attending classes.

@Joseph ********
with dtv you sign up for classes and you are meant to attend them.

Is there a legal means of adapting to Chiang Mai’s burning season that allows not taking the classes and traveling elsewhere in Thailand?

..is what I’m on about…

yes thanks for asking.

dtv soft power requires you take those Muay Thai or cooking classes at the school you signed up with.

You can’t just leave Chiang Mai and those classes behind to goto Phuket for 3 month burning season right?

I’m asking - is there no arrangement to be made to travel in Thailand if you’re going to miss your classes? Or does anyone know if this would be possible.

Like really? Is that not a violation?

I know in Thailand there’s the letter of the law then what people actually do. Is it just one of those things that none actually cares or is it that you are legally permitted to not take class?

Dtv soft power Muay Thai you have to take classes.

thank you. I don’t know went this group has so many trolls and assh**es.

I’m curious if you know though… can you just leave CM for those months if you have a Muay Thai soft power visa?

You have to goto your classes or you’re not meeting the conditions of DTV no?
