We have done ( I own a MT gym in chiang mai) about 20 from London. It's definitely not an embassy that asks too many questions. It's possible they may not ask for gym certification but can't guarantee it.

Aside from all the people who are using MT to get a visa don't forget there is a huge community of active muay thai students and fighters who the government consider quality tourists as they are studying a thai culture.

In the past some of those dedicated MT students would be chased out of Thailand for staying too long as a tourist. I think the government is trying to address this issue and as a muay thai gym owner we welcome it.

@Tabris *****

cheers ..... i think!

@Dany *******

firstly we give gym pictures and a Google map ref in our documents pack and secondly they asked for a profile on Tiger muay Thai which is not my gym

So not that easy really. Do I write a profile on another gym or do I point out their mistake???

We have a 91 year old with a dtv ( I run a muay thai gym) and he trains 2 x a week!

muaythaifever.com

@Muay ************

Fully accredited with sports authority, ministry of education and board of boxing A License and a Ltd company. Over 180 successful applications

I run a Muay Thai gym and we just got given the Northern Representative for the new sports authority of Thailands MMA association

We are told MMA will be accepted if the gym is registered with the MMA Association of Thailand

Wouldn't that be nice

Unfortunately it's all very vague

One embassy ok with 500k in the bank today the next wants a signed letter from the king!!!

Cambodia just gave my client a real run around. ( I run a muay thai gym) they are probably going to start asking for a signed letter from the King soon ... I don't recommend them anymore
