Pay for a 60 day tourist visa or e visa from the embassy of which ever country you're in. Enter thailand then go to the nearest immigration at least 10 days before it expires for a 30 day extension, which costs 1900 thb. Not worth the hassle of an ed visa for a short course.
Siam Rice Thai Cookery School is open. I have just completed 4 weeks with Mr Pot. Other people did 2 and 3 days. I enjoyed my time there very much and learnt a lot. Contact Mr Pot 0850 388 600 for further info
hi jake. Best to apply for thai pass 7-10 days before travel. Sometimes approval is quick, sometimes not. The thai pass is free but you must upload several documents like vax certificate, sha plus + hotel receipt, flight and insurance covering covid. Google thai pass or scroll thru the 'topics' of this group. Good luck
