What would be the best gym to choose for someone who primarily competes in Kickboxing?

[Ysbryd]

Hello! I have trained in Thailand once before (stayed at Jitti Gym in Bangkok for two months in 2019), but back then I trained/competed in Muay Thai. I have since transitioned to Kickboxing, but I really crave the Thai training methods and overall the experience of training in Thailand. I have been practicing the Thai language at home so I hope that won't be too much of a barrier when I return!

 

Are there any gyms that y'all think would be best for a Kickboxer? Or would it be better to train somewhere else? Thank you guys for any and all help!!

Buakaw's gym Banchamek gym (https://web.facebook.com/Banchamekgymtraining/)  is probably the foremost kickboxing gym in the country, in that Buakaw himself is a kickboxing promoter and leading the way toward non-traditional K1 like fighting in Thailand. I know a few Thai female fighters have gone there to train in kickboxing to fight internationally. Also Venum gym in Pattaya seems to have kickboxing type influence (though I'm not completely sure.) A lot of Iranian fighters fight out of Venum and then seem to have Karate-type backgrounds.
