What kind of forms does your Muay Thai have? This is interesting, as I have not heard this before.

ram muay is technically considered a form but in muay thai it is a dance, the 2 katas i have learned are "griu guay" angry elephant, and "tha haan ngaao" soldiers spear.
the reason many have not heard of muay thai forms is because they are pretty much only taught in thailand, if u go to a muay thai school here in america its pretty much no different then a regular kickboxing school
my teacher was born and taught in thailand and is teaching me the ways he was taught hs name is pravat simalai

Thanks for the information. That helps to clear it up some.

Nice to see your 'Thai instructor' is teaching the old ways as he was taught.
You are indeed a lucky person to find such a person

Zapatista, what are the striking arts offered around you? If you can take Muay Thai or western kickboxing, I'd recommend you start there. KB will be a fine complement to your BJJ or submission grappling.

Would you consider Kali/Arnis as no-form options, even though they are mainly weapons styles? I would consider them, at least from a weapons standpoint.
For some reason, I didn't think about them. Or JKD, for that matter.
