Personally id build one but you need thick ass wood, i mean thick stuff like 6 inches at least all round wide.you need solid thick bolts to put it together and you need to make proper carpentry joints on it. If you can do that, or you know someone that can, then id do that personally.

The reality is that muay thai kicks are made for power not so much speed but they will destroy and rip out most punch bag frames tip over free standing bags and basically obliterate everything. although they may last a couple of weeks or so most things arent up to the job as they are designed for boxing only.

if you like i can try and make a little diagram in paint and post up the sort of shape that is solid, that you could build.
You could go for that american frame, i dont know if you will have any issues with it rocking though due to its narrow footprint.

It may however be fine. it looks solid enough otherwise. its hard to say if you cant see it in person though. But in theory you might be fine with that.

If you decide to build say so and ill put up something and make a few pointers about frame height in relation to bag size etc and weighing it down.
