It depends on how much work you put in it. If you train two days/week and just do it for the excersise youre never gonna be good. You might aswell do aerobics but if put a serious effort it doesnt have to take that long time before youre good.

I don't practice Muay Thai. However, did you happen to see this post? Apparently the guy juggernaut45's talking about has only been practicing for half a year and he won his first 2 fights. I've also heard Muay Thai isn't hard to learn but is very effective.

It also depends on youre athletic ability, if you come in there and you ahve never watched, liked etc a fighting sprot/combat and you dont have those genes it will take you a long time to learn.

I think the guy he's refering to (reyes) has previous martial arts experience.

i'm going to be really boring and say that there's a difference between learning something and being good at something...

Like others have said, it depends on your natural ability to pick it up but moreso how much work you put into it. You'll do a 100 of muay thai kicks the wrong way before you develop muscle memory and know how the right way to kick feels.
