Is this a good one?

Against others of its kind
At $22 a day this sits a little under the $27 median for martial arts & movement. It is cheaper than 3 of the 4 martial arts & movement options mapped here.
Other things to learn in Thailand
6 other options in Thailand, starting with professional thai cuisine in Bangkok from $300.
When to go
Workable across 4 months of the year — Nov-Feb. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
How long it really takes
Most people give it 30 days, but the honest range is 7 to 180. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
