The TEFL School at Ban Phe

























I have been studying here for almost 3 weeks now. The school is a grea location next to the beautiful beaches of Ban Phe, Thailand. It is a small town and mainly used for fishing and Tourism. Many People spend the weekends on the nice long white beach on Koh Samet Island. I have taken photos of the classroom and the school building itself.

Here at the school the offer the cheapest accommodation possible.
It is only 100$ per month for a room with Air conditioning and a toilet.
The school is government approved and therefore has a strong regulation of no Drinking Alcohol or Drugs on the premises.

If you would rather stay on the beach and rent a motorcycle to drive everyday it is an easy option. Some students come with partners who dont attend the school. These people get small bungalows along the coast for about$200 per month. The motorcycle can be rented for about $100 per month. The classroom size is very depending. This month they have 18 students from all parts of the world but most come from USA.
They have 4-5 classes available at the school and will teach classes of as small as two people up to about 25 maximum.
The office staff are very friendly and helpful. Mr. Nat and the others will look after any needs. We had a problem with the facet and shower head and Nat had them replaced with new ones that day.
The weather this time of year is very good too. Usually highs in the high 80's (F) or 32 Celcius.
