TEFL Phuket | TEFL Thailand

The island of Phuket, pronounced Poo-ket, is widely regarded as the ‘Pearl of the South’. Situated off the south west coast of thailand, in the warm and clear waters of the Andaman Sea, this beautiful island, the largest in Thailand, is a fabulous exotic location.

The island of Phuket really does have everything you could wish for – mountains and rivers, countryside and jungles, beaches and islands, technology and cities, palaces and temples; you will struggle to find another island that offers such variety.

Phuket has many beautiful beaches to choose from throughout the year. Perhaps the dynamic Patong beach or the tranquil Mai Khao beach with a 19km stretch of beautiful golden sand will be your location to relax. Kho Phi Phi is the world renowned island where the film ‘The Beach’ was shot and the aptly named James Bond Island is where scenes from ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ were filmed. These are only two of the fascinating islands that the Phuket region has to offer.

Amongst Phuket’s amazing landscape you can find some of the most exciting entertainment, nightlife and cuisine to be found anywhere in Thailand. Throughout your course you will find you have ample time to take off and explore the island. Studying your tefl/tesol course in Phuket will definitely be enjoyable and you will never find yourself stuck for something to do. With a wide variety of activities available such as elephant trekking, wind surfing, horse riding, bungee jumping and first class SCUBA diving and snorkelling.

Phuket Climate

Whatever the season, the average daily temperature in Phuket is around 80-90 °F (27-32 °C). During the day the weather is humid and hot with cool breezes at night. The months of July to November are referred to as the green or rainy season and this is when the island experiences regular but often short tropical rain falls that usually come in the late afternoon. Despite the rain, most of the day stays clear with enchanting sunsets.

Living Costs in Phuket

You will find a large community of permanent farang (foreign) residents in Phuket, as well as a well developed tourism industry which means that the cost of living is slightly higher here than in many other parts of Thailand. Regardless of this, the cost of living in Phuket still remains a lot cheaper than living in the West.
