How we verify camps, and how this site makes money

Every claim on this site should be checkable. This page explains what the badges mean, what we refuse to print, and what to do when we get something wrong.

Not one of the 44 records here has been checked in person, so none of them is marked verified and the badge saying so sits on every page. 40 were read off the camps' own pages between 2026-09-02 and 2026-10-14, each figure dated and linked back to where it came from, and the remaining 4 are built from public sources with every field we could not settle left empty. There are no star ratings, because we collect no reviews and a number averaged from nothing is a lie with decimal places in it. The site earns nothing today. The intended model is a referral commission and affiliate revenue, declared on whichever page carries it, and placement is not for sale at any price.

Reading all 44 under one gate also told us something about the industry rather than about any one camp, so we published that too: what the camps publish about themselves, counted, with the camps behind each figure named.

The badges

What each status actually means

  • Not verified yet
    4of 44 records

    Nothing on the record has been checked against a session. It was built from public sources and reads as an editorial summary, not a report. A camp can carry this badge and still have a field note against it, because footage shot inside a gym settles what the room is and leaves every figure in it unchecked. Every factual field we could not confirm says "Not verified yet".

  • From the camp's own site,date shown
    40of 44 records

    The filled fields were read off the camp’s own published pages on the date beside the badge, and the page links to the source so you can check it. It does not mean anybody has trained there, and it does not make the figure current: a camp can raise a price without touching the page it is printed on. Anything still blank is blank because the camp does not publish it.

  • Verified on the ground,date shown
    0of 44 records

    Somebody from this site trained there and checked the record against what they saw, on the date shown beside the badge. Prices and schedules go stale, so the date matters as much as the badge.

The line

What we will not publish

  • Prices with no source. Every figure on this site is either the camp’s own published rate, dated and linked, or an empty field. There is no third category, and we do not average, estimate, or carry a number over from another directory.

  • Star ratings. We collect no reviews, so there is nothing here to average, and every directory printing a score beside a camp it has never visited got that number from somewhere it will not name.

  • Photographs passed off as our own. We have not been to most of these gyms, so the artwork on this site is drawn rather than shot, and no image here is presented as a picture of a camp.

  • Class sizes, coach counts and student-to-trainer ratios lifted from a camp's marketing copy. A timetable is a published fact and we will quote it; a boast about attention is not.

  • Paid placement. Ranking is not for sale. If that ever changes it will be labelled in the listing itself, not disclosed only here.

Money and corrections

Common questions

How does Muay Thai Guide make money?
It does not yet. The intended model is a booking or referral commission paid by camps when a reader arrives through us, plus affiliate revenue on gear and travel insurance. Commission would not affect ranking, and any page that carries a commercial link will say so on that page rather than only here.
Are the camp rankings paid for?
No. No camp has paid for a listing, a position, or a description. Order on listing pages comes from the editorial record, and the matcher orders by fit to your answers.
Why do so many fields say "Not verified yet"?
Because they have not been verified yet. Most directories fill those gaps with numbers scraped from marketing pages. We would rather show you an empty field you can trust than a full one you cannot.
How do I correct something on this site?
Use the contribute form and say what is wrong and how you know. Corrections from people who trained at the camp are the most useful kind. We will not publish a change we cannot stand behind, and we do not remove accurate criticism because a camp asked.
Do you accept payment to remove a negative note?
No. The section naming who a camp does not suit is the reason this site exists, and it is not for sale in either direction.

Found something wrong? Tell us what you saw. A correction from someone who trained there beats anything we can read online.
