Many people consider living in Phuket, Thailand as a "dream come true." The white-sand beaches offer amazing swimming, snorkeling and decent surfing. The climate is fantastic with warm, sunny days and cool, breezy nights. The Thai people are the most friendly and relaxed on earth - everyone smiles and is happy almost all of the time. Phuket is also a nexus of world travelers with first-world services and ammenities. The health care is first-class and affordable. The cost of living is very reasonable. You might eat well with lots of fresh food for around $4 per day.

Upon successful completion of your TEFL Certification Course, we can assist you in finding a job to allow you to continue your experience in paradise.  Landing a job provides you with the opportunity to obtain a Thai work permit which allows you to remain in Thailand continuously for up to twelve months.

Phuket has a constant influx of English-speaking visitors and a shortage of English speakers. This makes for a competitive market for you as a teacher of English. Many employers throughout Thailand are actively searching for well-trained English teachers.Employers might include community schools, private language schools, NGO's, hotels, or resorts.

One recent teaching placement was as follows: teaching English 20 hours a week to the employees of a resort, room and board included, and a salary of about $1800/month with work permit. This is reasonably typical for the private sector in Phuket. At TEFL Phuket, we have an extensive list of contacts in a variety of fields to help you find a job in your field and location of interest.
