No, Muay Thai is not dangerous, generally that is. If the gym is decent, you will be just fine. As for hitting hard surfaces, that is not done at all. You will kick the heavy bag with shin gaurds on in the beginning, that will progressively make your shins harder, and slowly kill the nerves.
Muay Thai is effective in the street because of the deadly techniques they use. It does not take too many elbows to the head or chin before the opponent is knocked out on the ground.
