No to really learn any art you need to practice with an instructor who can teach you what to do and what not to do. Keep looking or possibly attend some seminars where you can get some training.

I agree with Brain,you need to have a certified instructor(or someone with equl experience) to teach you Muay Thai.If you by books or DVDs to try to teach your self the art,you will learn some of the arts but you will not be able to grasp the small points.Some small points might not seem important(like hip rotation and keeping your face guarded while throwing kicks),but in a fight keeping your hands up will stop a potental knockout.
Books and DVDs are best used as a reference guide.
Where do you live?Are there any Muay Thai gyms around?

First, welcome to the group.
Second, self training is a very bad idea.
Where do you live? There may be someone here who knows of a teacher that is not listed in wherever you looked. Also, you may could build a workout group in your area and find someone that way.

First welcome to Martial Talk land and maybe you should take a minute and introduce yourself in the Meet and Greet section.
Now on to your question sure you can teach yourself anything the only problem with MA is you need feedback if what you are doing is correct and persice the way it was intended to be, so for that reason it is always better to have a instructor helping with all those techniques.

Well, if you can't find a muay thai place, you could always take generic boxing if you want to learn hands? Not quite the best answer, but sometimes something is better than nothing? Or there might be a generic kickboxing place nearby - you could learn that, then later in life when you have the chance the transition will be easier?
