Thailand wants to create a visa for travelers wishing to learn Muay Thai. The country's emblematic sport is considered as fist-foot boxing in the West.
The new visa would allow travelers to stay on site for 90 days, compared to the 60 days of the traditional visa. In 2016, there were 5,852 French people who traveled to Thailand to practice Muay Thai. The number of British people who went to Thailand for the same reason was 11,219 in the same year.
