Muay Thai school in BKK?
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a Muay Thai school in BKK?
I'll be visiting Thailand for the first time in a few months, and would love to do a 5-ish day long training program. I've found a small number of online reviews; two names I've seen come up are Top Fight and Sor Vorapin - but I'd love to hear thoughts from anybody who has any experience at all with the schools, where to stay, etc.
I plan on staying my entire trip in Bangkok - it seems like some of the schools have agreements with hostels or hotels for "train and stay" packages, though I think I'd prefer to book a hotel separately, since I don't want to train the whole time I'm there.
Experience wise I have about 5 years martial arts experience (mostly in Krav and a bit of JKD), and spar somewhat regularly. I'm not looking to compete or anything like that, but I don't want a daintied up "kickboxing for tourists" experience either.

I'd search/ask on thaivisa.
muay thai training bangkok site:thaivisa.com
And there must be MA specific forums where you'll get a decent recommendation?
There's Dutch guy, who was a world champ back in the day, who operates a respected training facility on Samui. But no clue if that's still going.
You'll have to sort through the chaff as many use these "schools" for the Education Visa loophole.
