ORIGINAL POSTERDTV Muay Thai: Must you train at the gym you receive the letter from? I know it sounds straight forward, but I’ve heard different things.
I have been training and fought Muay Thai for years.
I have friends currently everywhere from Chiang Mai to Phuket. Some using DTV. Of those none of them train at the gym their visa is from.
The reason for my question is: I see a lot of people going through gyms that are not reputable for serious competitors (more for fitness/tourist appeal) and I don’t want to be tied to training there.
I don’t mean any disrespect, everyone has different goals. I just want to do my due diligence.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The question inquires whether one must train at the gym that sponsors their DTV visa for Muay Thai in Thailand. The individual has experience in the sport and has noted that many friends with DTV visas train at different gyms than the one on their visa. A comment confirmed that there are no restrictions, allowing trainees to work out wherever they prefer.
