What is the difference between Muay Thai and Dirty Boxing? They sound very similar
In boxing, "dirty boxing" refers to anything that benefits you but is against the rules. Eye gouging/raking with the gloves/laces, disguising an elbow strike in a punch, slipping a knee to the groin during a clinch, rabbit punches during a clinch, trapping/locking; the list goes on, but it refers to things of that nature.
In "street fights", it's more or less the same things as boxing, just executed differently. Things like eye gouging or striking the eyes, hitting or grabbing the groin, biting, stomping the feet/toes, clawing or scratching, so on.
In mixed martial arts, dirty boxing normally refers to anything done at short distances while standing, either from a tight clinch or in a clinch/pin against the fence/ropes/corner. Short elbows, knees, hook punches, uppercuts, shouldering, trapping, or anything done to further wear down your opponent - covering their nose/mouth, putting your head against their throat or face, working your shoulder into their chest, putting weight on them, things like that.
Muay Thai is an actual martial art and sport, whereas "dirty boxing" refers normally to a set of oddball or mix and match skills. Muay Thai does use elbows and knees in "dirty boxing" ranges, but can also execute them from other places. Muay Thai also uses a number of kicks which cannot be used at close ranges; some can, but some are meant to actually make distance between you and your opponent. Muay Thai also uses punching techniques not unlike western boxing techniques, which can be done from regular boxing ranges or adapted for "dirty boxing".

What is the difference between Muay Thai and Kick Boxing?
I take Jiu Jitsu and wanted to do some Muay Thai on the side but there is not a place around. I found a place to Kick Box and wanted to know the difference between the two.
Sigh.
Kickboxing was invented in Japan to defeat Muay Thai fighters. Kickboxing is generally Muay Thai with some longer-range TKD/Kyokushin kicks added in as well as a larger emphasis on boxing.
The way most American Kickboxing is practiced involves only kicks above the waist (which defeats many of Muay Thai's strengths and because kicks above the waist are very hard to land properly, competition generally requires that a fighter throws at least eight kicks in a round and elbows/clinch/knees are disallowed. Depending on the ruleset, even shinkicks are disallowed.
Since there really is no unified idea of what kickboxing is, you'll have to visit the school and see what/how they teach before you can compare it to the Muay Thai school (which you should also visit).
Karate often practices both of these kicks. This snap kick, called a Mawashi Geri Keage, transfers a large amount of power via a short impact time, thus making a quick, hard-to-block or evade and powerful kick. Also, karate practices a Mawashi Geri Kekomi. This can transfer a massive amount of power as it allows force to come from the hip, but often leads to a lunge forward, moving the opponent away. This force is transferred through the ball of the foot, which really hurts! The Kekomi can only be used at the right moment as telegraphing is nearly inevitable. The faster kick creates a fast paced fight, and allows multiple techniques to be executed consecutively. The flick (Keage) kick however, takes practice to master, so both have their advantages.
But overall, on the street, I'd use the flick kick. It's a fantastic demonstration of your skill, incredibly efficient, effective, and fast. This means that running away is made easy. And if that isn't possible, you've been made intimidating, so your opponent may back down.
