TLDR : Answer Summary
This discussion revolves around recommendations for the best Muay Thai training camps in Thailand, particularly for beginners seeking to train for two months. Various locations are suggested, including specific gyms and popular training destinations like Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, and Hua Hin. Notable recommendations include Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, MAA in Koh Phangan, and Fairtex in Pattaya. The importance of considering location preferences and the opportunity to try multiple gyms before committing is emphasized.
This is a full immersion camp. As in live on the grounds. You can choose short term or up to one month (I believe). They do all levels. Check out the website.

AKA Thailand in Phuket. I go back there in januari
Probably go to Koh Samui, that might be the best bet. Depends on your level, they should be able to line you up for a fight also!

Mate if give a destination of where you want to based yourself gives the crew and ideas for places to train ! Phuket fighters street, huge range of gyms in close proximity, from hi end ! Tiger MT to many good gyms and accommodation very geared to people who come to train Muma,s my fav ! Pattaya a few very famous and good but spread out a little ! But Patts has the girl factor can literally mess with your training if you let it ! Bangkok has many big money gyms ! If you want a cooler training area up north of Chang mai,Rai a little more laid back grass roots no frills and a little bit cooler,cheaper training than the more falung orientated gyms like say tiger google is ! I live here mate Muay Thai is bigger than any other sport there gyms every where ! For a first timer I would recommend Phuket ! Mama,s accommodation will pick you up at airport her bungalows are awesome your literally walking distance from a shit load of gyms sign up for a few days in each till your find one you like and don't get lost in the crowd ! Also Phuket doesn't have such a bad girl factor until you get a day off ! IV been coming here since I was 20 now 58 a live in Pattaya I train at ISS gym hardcore hot as fuck ! 38c+ but train your arse off before you come a 2 hour session in Thai heat will fuck you up for a few weeks ! Drink plenty of electrolytes and water to help you adjust gear is pretty cheap and a great souvenir of your time ! If in Bangkok ? Action zone near MBK centre to stock up cheapest and best range in Thailand ! Don't bring to much shit buy it here and it's always hot as fuck all the time ! 30-32c thongs a good set running shoes ! you will be running! every decent gym does warm up runs don't bring jeans everything else just get here ! If you have big bucks and want world-class training alongside world class trainers and champions a month or less ! Tiger Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok Fairtex ! And Sanchi,s gym Bangkok if you want to train with the best of the sport ! Message me any questions if need happy to help ! Muzza Pattaya !

There are lots.
Phuket Muay Thai and KYN Phoenix are both good and offer accommodation with their gyms and accommodation being right by the beach.
If you're not interested in the Beach, there are many gyms in Chiang Mai where your living costs are lower and many things to do when not training.
Charn Chai in Pai is further north and good for beginners.
What time of year are you going?
The north can be smoky Feb to April. The rainy season is at different times on the Andaman Sea vs Gulf of Thailand.
Phuket Muay Thai right on Rawai Beach might be ideal. KYN Phoenix is right on a working fishing beach with really pretty beaches a long walk, short bicycle ride away
KYN Phoenix is on my favourite island but for 2 months the non-Muay Thai activities might be too limited. Good scenery, decent eating places and good boat trips and diving but not much else.
Don't commit to one or two gyms and prepaid. Try them out and choose the gym/trainers that you like or find helping you to achieve your goal. There is no one gym fit all. Try and see which one you love.
Train with all the trainers you want. Don’t let them lock you in with one guy… be straightforward up front so you don’t deal with the childish Thai behavior
Don’t go to one of these majority foreigner gyms… thank me later
