Hi
@Lester ********
Since I’m living in Bulgaria I am connected to the Thai embassy of Bucharest 
I have just asked them regarding:
Discover Thai nature
******************************************************************
It would be nice to know if these courses qualify me in section 5b for the DTV visa.
I have already filed documents from 1 to 4
It is only number 5 that provide me with challenges
I first tried to apply with freelancer status.
Long story short.
I have difficulties (maybe language barrier ) to get the documents needed from Bulgarian authorities that The Thai embassy in Bucharest they ask for
For this reason and also because I actually find the course interesting I told them that I am willing to apply again and pay 10,000 bath
But first I would like to know if this actually qualify me under 5 b Thai soft power
( seminars ) 
Wait answer
———-
Unfortunately it is my experience that there is big difference from Embassy to Embassy on the DTV Requirements
On a phone call I ask her what kind of cooking class school she can recommend me in Phuket that will grant me access with the Thai soft power 
Her answer back where :
Are you a cook
In which I have cost applied no
I guess it’s up to the opinion off the employee off each embassy
How they interpreted the soft power 5b option
