How can I apply for a DTV visa and sign up for activities before arriving in Thailand?

I think you get in touch with a company that does whatever activity you choose, you then pay them for the course & they send you confirmation. Which you use for the DTV

I went to Laos on one trip. It’s wasn’t a border run but I got 60 days when I re entered. That was in January. I left in February, but went back for songkran. I got pulled over by immigration but they let me through. I’m due back in a few weeks. I’ll be going from my home country & I haven’t been to Thailand for 7 months. I think I should be ok
