What proof should I ask from a Muay Thai gym before paying for a long-term membership?

Why would you pay 6 months in advance crazy

I would ask them to list specifically what exact documents they will provide for a start. That will filter out half the ppl who have no real idea what they are doing and are just telling you what you want to hear. For example I contacted probably the 2nd largest muay thai school in phuket and asked if they can do docs FOR DTV VISA and how much. They casually replied yes i just need to buy a package. Now a month later I emailed them again asking them to be specific. The answer as follows highlights the fact they have no idea what a DTV even is: Greetings from *****

Regarding your inquiry, it is only training acceptance letter. It does not support document for long stay Visa. And this is not for student visa type application. Because we are only gym.

**Please note that**

​(This letter is not for Muay Thai education Visa)

That's a good question, references I guess. I'm on the other side of the fence as a gym owner. We are plagued with dodgy customers trying to extract our documents without paying. So we don't like to show them our licenses etc before they pay coz they can be cloned. We also have to stamp our documents to avoid cloning.

But I guess customers are worried about scams too. Fair point

You might want to say where in Thailand you want to train.

Anyone knows where I can get DTV from studying Thai in Bangkok or Pattaya?

Do a week first
