Yes. Muay Thai is considered a Martial Art and is considered part of Mixed Martial Arts. Many fighters in the UFC use Muay Thai moves like the Muay Thai clich, flying kick etc. Though it is not as popular as Ju-Jitsu Muay Thai is slowly gaining popularity in the MMA World.
All martial arts are better or worse based on the amount of interest and dedication the practitioner puts into training them. There is no finite better or worse in martial arts, only the tests of time and fighting. If you enjoy training Kung Fu, Karate, or Ninjutsu, then it is best to train what holds your interest and your efforts best, so you can achieve your goals to the fullest! Interesting combinations though: Muay Thai can be enhanced with certain Kung Fu's iron body training. Karate can enhance throws and ranged attacks for Muay Thai. Ninjutsu is generally illegal in sport fighting, but great to add to Muay Thai for dirty fighting and clinch work since it often implies Judo-esque throws and elbows/knees. Good luck in your training!
