Ideal gym in Thailand for former boxer

[Clayto97]

So, I’m currently planning on going to Thailand for 2 months next year to live at a gym and potentially fight once, and I’m wondering what gym/s y’all would recommend for me given my background and the fact that I’m quite new at Muay Thai. I was a competitive boxer at my university for 2 years, getting 5 fights under my belt and 3 wins, and for the past 4 months I’ve been doing some kickboxing at an mma gym. On the one hand, I’m a southpaw with great boxing and a love for low/lower kicks (I never kick above the body) so Sitmonchai comes off as a chance to capitalize on my current skills. On the other hand, a clinch-heavy gym like Kem would let me become worthwhile in the clinch, where I’m currently useless. 

Any input would be greatly appreciated; be it what I should look for in a gym or specific recommendations, anything’s welcome!!

Kem's is a good option because he's also very adroit in boxing, so you wouldn't have to leave your strengths behind in order to get good clinch work in and develop areas you're not yet strong in.

I would just visit any gym and improve you’re flaws , low kicks don’t really score and coming from a Dutch kickboxing background I also have / had a hard time adapting to Muay Thai as the middle kicks or higher are basically what scores the most
