I'm looking at moving to Thailand but it won't be until December/January due to work/life commitments in the UK.

How do I go about getting a cover letter from a muay thai gym before being out in Thailand?

It'll be in Samui where we'd be living. I've tried to look for this on here but can't find answers.

(DTV visa obviously)

TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a cover letter from a Muay Thai gym in Samui for your DTV visa application before arriving in Thailand, you need to contact the gym directly. They will not require a prior meeting; instead, you can book a course and pay the fee. Once you do this, the gym will send you the necessary documentation for your visa application. It's noted that your attendance at the classes is not a requirement for obtaining this documentation.

The gym won’t require any form of meet up prior. You contact them to book a course. Pay the fee and they send you documentation to use with your application for the DTV.

Whether you actually use the gym and attend classes is almost irrelevant.

I didn't know if they had to meet with you face to face? I've never done this before so was wondering how it would be done.

You don't need to meet with them. You enrol in the course, pay the fee, and get the confirmation. That can be done by email
