Does anybody who posts on the Thailand thread study Muay Thai? I'm really curious as to the accessibility of the art in a Thai school. Are they hard to find?

Muay Thai gyms aren't hard to find (especially in Bangkok) and most of them will teach foreigners and beginners.

I dont know any teachers who train Muay Thai but I am planning to start in April.

I will be looking forward to the day when you share the story of how you broke a tree in half with your shin. Please keep us posted!

Boxing and kicking, right?

Where's the best school in Phuket or Bangkok?

Thanks

There are hundreds of gyms in Bangkok alone but not all of them cater to foreigners. I train at Ingram gym which is between sukhumvit 63 and 65. It's a great little gym which has a 'family atmosphere' and dedicated trainers who are interested in your progress. I found that many gyms throughout Thailand are more interested in your money than teaching you proper technique.
