TESOL Ban Phe, Thailand Courses

Why TESOL in Ban Phe, Thailand?

The land of a thousand smiles – this aptly describes Thailand. Sylvan beaches, azure waters of the Indian Ocean, elephants, delicious seafood and the most hospitable people are reasons enough to draw anyone to Thailand. The TEFL course in Thailand gives you the opportunity to be up close and immerse your self in this unique experience while honing your teaching skills at the TEFL schools to confirm success in the career of ESL teaching.

What is the attraction?

Thailand is different to different people. It depends on what you are seeking. The silver beaches make you feel like the 'lotus-eaters' –soaking in the sun or indulging in water sports. The mountains in the north are the habitat of many rain forest animals and especially the white elephant. While Bangkok and other cities are bustling with modern amenities of city life, a TESOL course would certainly be noble excuse to bask in the glory of Thailand.

What is in it for you?

Whether you are in Banphe or Phuket, pursuing your TEFL Certification Course, you will be fascinated by the people and their ability to smile in all adversity. The respect with which every student interacts with their teacher, how visitors and guests have a special place in their hearts, the warmth with which everyone is greeted makes the place so tourist friendly and convenient for short term ESL jobs, too.

Thailand is a shopper's paradise. So, while you brainstorm lesson plans in the TEFL classes you can splurge simultaneously in the shopping malls and the local markets. The best brands in the world vie for place with the local produce. Every street corner is an on slot of sight, sound and smell.

It is a place to discover home made coconut ice creams, lovely curries, plentiful seafood and even fried insects if you like to try out new things. There are all kinds of food to satisfy the most fastidious eater. However once you have tasted Thai cuisine you will never want to eat anything else.

On the tourist map

The whole country is a traveler's delight. The beaches of Phuket and Hua Hin, the island of Koh Samet, the mountains of Chiang mai, the markets and the Grand Palace of Bangkok or the temple town of Ayuthaya - there is so much to explore that a single visit to Thailand may not be enough. The TESOL Certification Program in Thailand therefore rides the highest in the scale of popularity as far as TEFL training locations are concerned.

Evening and Nightlife

"One night in Bangkok……." is how a song goes and tries to capture the lures of the nightlife in Bangkok. Thailand is dotted with pubs and Karaoke bars as the Thais belief in having fun with a capital F. A TESOL program thus set in Thailand can hardly stay uninfected by this typically Thai spirit of life.

Weekend Excursions

Accommodation

The TEFL International School in BanPhe houses the residential quarters too. There are private rooms with a private bath. Each room is air-conditioned and has a bed, a cupboard and a writing table. The rooms are cleaned and the linen changed once a week. Each occupant will have individual key to the room. Meals can be bought at a eatery across the road from the school.

Accommodation in BanPhe can also be arranged in a beautiful hotel building about a 5 minute walk from the school. The rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms. The hotel is across from the beach, and close to the town center, many restaurants and the main shopping area. The hotel is well equipped with laundry and cleaning services.

About our TEFL Location

Tucked away in a small fishing village on the Gulf of Thailand is a place called Ban Phe. It is about 180 km from Bangkok. The island of Koh Samed is on every tourist's list to Thailand, therefore every tourist who wants to go to Koh Samed has to pass Ban Phe to take a boat to the island.

Once you leave the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and hit the road to Ban Phe the scene changes. The nearly three hour drive takes you through rural and semi urban areas and once you reach Ban Phe the Ocean takes your breath away. Ban Phe, which has been intelligently chosen to be one of the 3 TESOL training centers in Thailand, is a stretch of unending beach. The azure blue sky, silver beach and the gentle zephyr makes you languid like Tennyson's 'Lotus Eaters'. Yet this sleepy town has all the amenities that an international tourist on move would require – bars, restaurants, cyber cafes and a market. Every Monday and Thursday one can shop and eat at the temporary local market or go to the big shopping Malls at Rayong over the weekend. However the main attraction for the TEFL certificate seekers is the Koh Samet island which is half an hour away and its silhouette is visible all the time from ban Phe beckoning one and all like a temptress.

Connectivity

Banphe is 180 km away from Bangkok. There is an hourly Bus service from Banphe to Bangkok from 6 am to 6 pm everyday. Banphe is well connected to most parts of the country by bus. There are also taxi services and two wheeler taxies in and around Banphe. Shuttle vans called Songtans ply regularly from Banphe to Rayong and other places.
