Everything moves in a circle.
I don't think Muay Chaiya is extinct.
Is that Mae Mai or Mai Mae? Coz Mae Mai's not extinct either.
In fact, my coach calls our traditional techniques "Mae Mai Muay Thai Chaiya" (Master tricks of Muay Chaiya).
Sityodtong was teaching Mae Mai as well (RIP).
Kru Lek's doing a lot of big things with Muay Chaiya.

Not sure what General Amnat Pooksrisuk trains, but it's ancient and bareknuckle.
Khun Kao trained with him and said he's a beast.
Here's one of the styles I was looking for (the Mukki Boxing someone referred to earlier):

I've seen videos but I can't find them.

What part are you having a hard time understanding?
Indian martial arts went northwest to the silk road, then east to China.
Indian martial arts also went east through Burma and Southeast asia, all the way to Khmer (and beyond).
Tai people emigrated from the far east, westward through many territories that had been influenced by Indian culture, some even ending up in northwest India.

It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
The part that really didn't make sense to me was the IMA traveled east to Cambodia, then the Cambodian arts presumably gave birth to the Thai and Burmese arts. If it was India, Burma, Thailand then Cambodia it would make more sense to me then India, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, as was suggested.
Ah, my bad for being confusing. Burma got their stuff from India, but may have also been influenced by later developments further eastward. I've seen it said that their stuff shows more Musti Yuddha influence than elsewhere in southeast Asia. Shame what happened to that country. It used to be a real trade & cultural center. Think they had the first airport in southeast Asia back in the 50s.
