sportmuaythai

I'm taking liberty in answering this post since you've also asked me below. December is the best month to visit Thailand. Now pls let me know what kind of muaythai are you looking for. Sport muaythai is easier to learn, when compared to traditional muaythai. You can change camp, and the new camp will not reject you, generally. Contrary to George's view, I think that for a first time visitor to Thailand, it's better to stick to camps that cater to foreigners. They are better adapted to peculiar requirements, and tolerate them better. But pls beware of not so good camps catering to foreigners. PM fire cobra. He has more experience with Thai camps than I do, and he also has " Farang's perpective". I'm sure he can make good reccommendation.
There are also camps with varying amenities, and locations. I love Chiangmai, while I don't like Phuket or Pattaya. Let me know of your preference and budgfet range. Bangkok has good camps that range from cheap to expensive. Training costs do not vary much, it's the accommodation and food that will make the difference.
Regarding MMA, I was speaking about real BJJ being taught by very qualified Brazillian teacher. Shark is with a camp where they have connection with Brazillian team and they exchange muaythai with BJJ training. So you get to train authentic BJJ cheaply with Shark's camp. Muaythai at this camp is also excellent. Much better muaythai training than at other better known Chiangmai camp.
There is also a camp in Ubonratchathani where a European muaythai fighter has camp. He fights MMA, and teaches. But I think you can get better muaythai elsewhere.
The more you tell us what you're looking for the better I can make suggestion. I'd rather not make reccommendation, and leave fire cobra and shark do it. Fire cobra in particular has vast experience with several camps, so much it amazes me. And he is unbias. In Bangkok, his favourite trainer has a dingy camp, but training is earnest.
