Ask how many of their fighters fought this month. Then ask where.

Five questions, and what each answer tells you.
The long version
How many of your fighters fought this month, and where? A camp that matches fighters is a camp inside the sport. A gym where nobody fights is a fitness class with Thai vocabulary, which is a fine thing to buy and a different thing.
Who holds pads for me, and are they the same person each time? Pads are the session. A trainer who learns your habits is the whole difference between a month of training and a month of exercise.
How many people are in the afternoon session? Two rounds of pads each is the constraint, and it is set by trainer-to-student ratio, not by the timetable on the wall.
Do beginners clinch here? Clinching is where muay thai stops being kickboxing, and also where a first-timer gets hurt by accident. Both answers are legitimate; a gym with no answer is not paying attention.
What happens if I want to fight? Ask even if you do not. The answer tells you whether the place has a route into the sport or only a route into its classes.
