sorry to bother ur bzn, aren't u french? why do u need a tourist visa?

there are hundreds of posts of people posting the documents they've submitted. Plz do your homework and don't be a lazy boy

I hope you weren't applying for a DTV

Write a cover letter saying that you are staying at your friend place. If your friend got a rental contract then it'd be great if you can include that in the documentation. easy peasy

the problem might be that you've just registered your bzn. Embassies tend to prefer something that was set 6+ months prior the application

well, not as bad as applying in tokyo, KL or taipei but there are surely better places to go

it happened in few rare cases but 99% of time won't happen

Well, you don't have to explain that to me but to the supervisor. All those thai visa pages are full of users who claimed to be interviewed in thai, some mentioned that they got questioned at the immigration at the airport as well. There was a huge crackdown on ED visas which has become a major red flag. If you can speak and read the basic then you don't have to worry, if you used the ED visa to live in thailand long term then that could lead u to troubles

I actually learnt more than that in 6 months, I could read some simple words and make a very simple conversation. 6 months of learning guarantee anything in between 1000 and 2000 words. The officers will probably check that you have actually attended those classes and they you've learnt something during these 6 months

6 month is more than enough to learn the basic, if you have attended the classes and done your stuff then you won't have issues. If you can't speak thai at all then it's gonna be a big red flag, ED visa has been to most abused visa during the past years, used for those who wanted to live (and work illegally) in thailand. If you can't speak thai then they have the clue to think that you just wanna stay there long time moving from ed to muay thai isn't going to help.
