TEFL Courses in Phuket, Thailand

Pronounced Poo-ket, the Island of Phuket is commonly referred to as the "Pearl of the South". As the largest island in Thailand, lying in the perfectly clear and warm waters of the Andaman Sea off the south-west coast of Thailand, this fantastic island literally is a tropical paradise.

Phuket really does have everything that you could ask for - jungles and mountains, rivers and countryside, islands and beaches, temples and palaces, cities and technology…in fact, there are few places on earth that can offer so much.

There are so many stunning beaches on Phuket that at any time of year you can choose between, for example, the lively beach at Patong or the sublimely peaceful Mai Khoa beach at the north of the island with its 19km stretch of pure golden sand.

There are many islands off Phuket which you can visit by one of the many boats leaving either the main pier in Phuket town or one of the piers on the beaches. There is the famous island of Kho Phi Phi where “The Beach” was filmed, James Bond Island where some of the scenes in “The Man With The Golden Gun” were filmed. This is to name but a few.

Amid Phuket's fantastically beautiful landscape lives the most exciting variety of nightlife, entertainment, and cuisine to be found in Thailand. Our TEFL courses in Phuket allow you plenty time to explore the island and enjoy yourself! Taking your TEFL course in Phuket, Thailand is great fun and you will never be bored in your spare time with world class SCUBA diving and snorkeling, kayaking, wind surfing, horse-back riding, bungee jumping, elephant trekking and hiking through rainforests being just some of the ways you can enjoy yourself when teaching English and living in Phuket.

Phuket's Climate

The daily temperature in Phuket tends to be fairly average whatever the season, and that is around 80-90°F (27-32°C). It is hot and humid during the day with cool, temperate breezes at night. The green season (rainy) usually begins in July and ends in November. During this time, persistent but very brief tropical rains fall mainly in the late afternoon, often beginning around 5PM, while the majority of the day remains clear with magical sunsets.

Cost of Living in Phuket

Phuket has a large community of full-time farang (foreigner) residents. Having the highest per capita income of all Thai provinces, there is a corresponding hike in the cost of living. Never the less, living in Phuket is still much cheaper than living in the West.

"For a spontaneous decision, this has been one of the best decisions of my life. The course was well organised and, although I found it hard going, there was enough humour and support to make me always feel I was doing the right thing. A big thank you to the Phuket Team. You have opened a whole new field to me and one in which I am enjoying myself a lot." Simone Allène
