Why TESOL in Phuket, Thailand?

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 travelers 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.

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

While you are doing the course at Banphe, the tiny fishing town in Thailand, you can go across to the beautiful Koh Samet Island in just 30 minutes on the weekends and have the time of your life there or to the Koh Chang Island, which is close by. You can drive down to Bangkok or Pattaya from Banphe for a weekend trip to compensate the slog-hours in the TESOL classroom and come back refreshed to take on the detailed and extensive TESOL curriculum.

But if you are in Phuket then life is a beach because Phuket is rated as one of the top beaches in the world. So the famous Phi Phi Islands is for you to rediscover over the weekends after week-long TEFL classes.

The Island of Phuket (pronounced 'Poo-ket'), commonly referred to as the 'Pearl of the South', is the largest island in the country of Thailand. Lying in the perfectly clear and warm waters of the Andaman Sea off the south-west coast of Thailand, this fantastic island is literally a tropical paradise. The remarkably varied terrain on Phuket includes long strips of white, sandy beaches against crystal clear waters, limestone cliffs and fascinating coral reefs, heavily forested mountains, awesome waterfalls, and every kind of tropical vegetation one could imagine. A TESOL program attended here is not only academically enriching but also invigorates the soul and mind by the virtue of its splendid natural surroundings.
