Didn't see this mentioned and I think it's a more specific exercise for a smaller muscle group that nonetheless couldn't hurt for Muay Thai. You could get yourself a neck harness and work on improving your neck and upper back that way for your clinch work. I'm sure it works well as assistance for pullups, too.

This is not true. The more mass behind something, the harder it will hit. Let me hit you with a bicycle going 25 miles an hour, and then with a train at 25 MPH, and see if weight makes a difference.

If your serious about lifting for MT and not for the mirror, focus on what weight you want to be able to lift not how much you want to weigh.

Again, who said anything about focusing on gaining weight?

One can get stronger without getting bigger. Heavy lifting with low reps and a watched diet would be great for this.

Neck work is great for all combat sports.

How do you recommend programming for such a thing? I'd like to incorporate some neck work at home, even though I'm not doing any serious lifting for the time being. I'm tired of having my head yanked down in the clinch.

What neck work experience do you have?
The basics are neck bridges, harness work, band work, and heavy lifting like shrugs and deadlifts.
A good start can be doing face down assisted bridges. Think of your body bent at the waist like an A, with your hands down to take pressure off your neck. Those weighted boxing neck strengtheners can be a good starting place as well. I'd start with 15-20 reps forward, backward, left and right.

None whatsoever.  I'll try the bridges like you suggest and see where it goes from there. Three sets of 20 for those, or something similar? Or do them to failure?

You would never want to do neck work to failure. 3x20 if it's not too difficult. If it becomes difficult, cuts the sets short and do more sets with less reps.

Upper and mostly lower back. It helps reduce injury and increase swing on kicks.

I'll start with 3x10.  I'm pretty fat to be doing neck bridges, most likely.
