Few important things to remember when fighting in the clinch:
It is important that you don't intertwine your fingers behind your opponents head. Lock your hands behind your sparring partner head instead of a neck to be able to press it down. Just place a palm of your hand on the back of the other. Why? The main reason is quite practical: you wouldn't be able to do it wearing a sparring gloves anyway. Another thing is that it allows you to deliver a quick elbow to your opponents face. It wouldn't be possible if your fingers were interlinked. Put as much pressure on your opponent's neck and shoulders as possible. Wear your opponent down. Always try to maintain a dominant, top position. Lock your elbows tight around his neck to prevent him from getting inside control. If you don't have a clinch control, throw a knee strike to his mid section to lower his guard and try to get a better position. If you still can't get it, release the clinch and try again. If you want to release a clinch, use your hand(s) to push your opponent's chin back. A quick elbow strike, as a defensive means, is a good way to end a clinch. Other than front clinch types includes: arm clinch: with one or both hands controlling the opponent's arm. This type of clinch is useful to control a defender before applying a knee strike or throw. side clinch: with both hands holding a side of a defenders neck from a side position. One had passes around the front and another around the back. It allows you to attack abdominal area and it is very effective if you want to target your opponent's back (kidney area) with your knee strikes. low clinch: with both hands holding our sparring partner under his arms. This type of clinch allows you to lift your opponent and throw him on the ground more easily. Full Article : http://www.effectivemuaythai.com/muay-thai-clinch.html
