TMT has a horrid reputation for fixing fights, bribing key forum members with free trips to talk up their gym (where is mine huh?!) and offering extremely overpriced training. They're number 1 in marketing to Westerners, thats all they do well.
Same can be said for the majority of Phuket gyms but personally I'd rather not waste my trip and train at a proper gym."Boxing is the art of hitting an opponent from the furthest distance away, exposing the least amount of your body while getting into position to punch with maximum leverage and not getting hit."

i found the WMC camp on koh samui to be fantastic, catering to both hobbyists and fighters (of course foreigners, the only thais fighting out of that camp were the trainers - but they did take fights.)
there were some foreign students who were quite serious, staying there for a year or so, taking fights, etc. others were more casual, but if a student worked hard, they got serious training. slackers were generally ignored. come to think of it, nobody paid much attention to me until i had shown up to both sessions 2 days in a row (including the runs that some people would skip.)
this was a few years ago, and things may have changed, of course. also as they are a camp that caters to foreigners, their prices are a bit high."Face punches are an essential character building part of a martial art.
