Special Thai
Project - Accommodation
Accommodation during the TESOL training
TEFL International is able to provide comfortable, well-equipped
accommodation for teacher trainees at free of cost. (Accommodation is
sharing basis two trainees per room basis)
Accommodation in Ban Phe consists of a private air-conditioned room with
private bathroom in a beautiful hotel building adjacent to the school,
which houses all the course trainees. The hotel is located within very
easy access to the beach, the town center, a variety of excellent
restaurants and some great shopping areas! The hotel offers everything –
a restaurant, internet café, lounge area with television and video
player, plus laundry and cleaning services.
Accommodation after TESOL program and before
starting teaching assignment
School will be provided with accommodation within 24 to 48 hrs before
the school contract begins. Teachers may have to organize their own
accommodation for a period of 5-7 days in-between the completion of the
TESOL program and before starting the teaching assignment.
Accommodation during teaching assignment
We will aim to provide our teachers with the best possible
accommodations. As we deal with various schools in various locations at
various times, it is impossible to have accommodations pre-arranged for
all sites year round. Therefore, exact information regarding specifics
on accommodations may not be available until a later date. Exact
information for some schools/cities may be available earlier than
others.
Accommodations in Thailand and throughout SE Asia are generally smaller
and have fewer amenities than do Western style accommodations. Most of
the schools we work with are in smaller more remote areas of Thailand
and thus do not have accommodations that are up to the standards of
Western style accommodations. *If you require (cannot live without)
Western style amenities (A/C, fridge, TV, DVD, kitchen, washing machine,
etc.), you will most likely not be happy working with us. The majority
of the accommodations in the past have had A/C*
Laundry is easily and inexpensively done by many local ladies (300 - 500
baht/month) or at small coin-operated shops. There are internet cafes
everywhere and are usually very cheap. Restaurants and street vendors
are everywhere and usually very inexpensive. TV’s and DVD players can be
purchased for a reasonable price, but there are many other things to do
in Thailand other than watch TV and movies.
Accommodations that are arranged by the company will be provided free of
charge throughout the teaching contract. Teachers accepting arranged
accommodations must agree to remain in arranged accommodations or may be
liable for the costs of lost security deposits.
Most
arranged accommodations will be apartments with en suite bathrooms.
Some accommodations for some schools/cities will be shared houses with
separate bedrooms for each teacher. Often houses are required in cities
or areas that are smaller and less developed as thus there is an obvious
lack of suitable apartment style accommodations.
Accommodations will vary from school to school and city to city. All
accommodations are scouted and chosen based on location to the school,
amenities provided, cleanliness, comfort, and budget. Some
accommodations are provided and/or arranged by the individual schools.
All
accommodations will include basic amenities such as a bed, fan (if no
A/C), dresser, and closet or clothes rack.
Some
accommodations may include extras such as A/C, fridge, TV, table,
balcony (most apartments have balconies), etc.
Accommodations
do not include kitchens or cooking utensils as most apartments in
Thailand do not have kitchens.
Monthly
electric, water, and phone bills will be the responsibility of the
teacher. Average water bills per month are 50-150 baht. Landline
phones generally cost 5 baht/minute. Electricity is generally between
5-7 baht per unit which equates to anywhere between 500-2500 baht/month
depending on the use of A/C and/or fan, fridge, lights and other
electrical equipment.
