  "what": "Thai distinguishes *khai muay*, a boxing camp, from *samnak rian*, a school of instruction, and the difference is not size.",
  "story": "The Thai article puts it directly: a *samnak rian* has a head — a master whose skill and name are known and respected — who means to pass the knowledge on so it is not lost, and who teaches only students he judges suitable. A *khai muay* is the professional arrangement: it houses fighters, matches them and takes a cut.\n\n*Inference —* almost every place a visitor trains at is a camp, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is worth knowing which word applies before assuming a lineage is on offer."

 "text_th": {
  "what": "ภาษาไทยแยก *ค่ายมวย* ออกจาก *สำนักเรียน* และความต่างไม่ได้อยู่ที่ขนาด",
  "story": "บทความไทยพูดไว้ตรง ๆ *สำนักเรียน* มีเจ้าสำนักหรือครูมวย ซึ่งมีฝีมือและชื่อเสียงเป็นที่เคารพรู้จัก มีความประสงค์จะถ่ายทอดวิชาไม่ให้สูญหาย และสอนเฉพาะศิษย์ที่เห็นว่าเหมาะสม ส่วน *ค่ายมวย* คือการจัดการเชิงอาชีพ เลี้ยงนักมวย จับคู่ให้ และหักส่วนแบ่ง\n\n*อนุมาน —* แทบทุกที่ที่ผู้มาเยือนไปฝึกคือค่าย และนั่นไม่มีอะไรผิด แต่ควรรู้ว่าคำไหนใช้กับที่นั่น ก่อนจะสรุปว่ามีสายวิชาให้"
