One sells fights. The other transmits a line.
Dacuevas · CC BY-SA 4.0What it is
Thai distinguishes khai muay, a boxing camp, from samnak rian, a school of instruction, and the difference is not size.
The long version
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.
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.
