Our TEFL course accommodation options cover a wide variety of needs and budgets. They range from a basic room with your choice of air con or fan, to condominiums with shared pool and gym facilities. All options are located in safe areas of Phuket Town and all but one option is located within 1km (10 minutes’ walk) from the training center. The image below is of Vapa Hotel–our most popular option.
TEFL Course Accommodation Locations
All accommodation options are in Phuket Town. Four of the five options are located within 1km (10-min walk), with the closest being a mere 400m/yd away. Our outlier is Connext Phuket, which is located 2km away. Two options are very near The King’s Park–a large park with running paths, ponds, and plenty of greenery. One option is right in the center of town and only a stone’s throw from cafes, restaurants, bars and convenience stores.
TEFL Course Accommodation Amenities
All rooms are private and have a private toilet. You’ll enjoy free wi-fi and, hot water, and air-conditioning. After that, amenities vary greatly and depend largely on your budget. Unless you’re choosing one of the condo options, hotel rooms do not have kitchen.
Vapa Hotel
The most popular option. It’s just 700m away from TEFL Campus and even closer to the very heart of Phuket Town.
Sugar Palm Residence
This is a condo-type option located right next to the King’s Park. Rates a bit higher but it offers the most comfort and convenience.
Connext Condominium
This is also a good condo option. Please note if you’d like to stay here, it’s best for those who plan to drive as it’s 2km (1.25mi) away.
Phupara Place
This is a basic apartment option with affordable rates and large rooms. It’s located very near the King’s Park and only 900m/yd from TEFL Campus.
Phuket Guesthouse
This is out budget option offering basic accommodation. It’s a mere 400m/yd from TEFL Campus.
Staying true to Phuket Town, our TEFL course accommodation and the surrounding area offers more food stalls, cafes and restaurants than you can imagine. There are also plenty of Western food outlets as well. Phuket Town also has quite a few markets and grocery stores where you can buy snacks and drinks to bring back to your room.
The King’s Park is also nearby and offers a large area for recreation, people watching, chilling out or working out. It’s got a large pond with two running tracks that take you around the park. There are basketball and badminton courts, as well as small soccer/football fields and even some organized aerobics sessions in the early evening.
Thai clubs and western style pubs dot the city and you’re never too far away from the action. You cannot expect the same scene as what’s found in Phuket’s main tourist city of Patong, but that’s why so many long-term expats choose to stay in Phuket Town rather than in Patong and along the West Coast.
There are also quite a few activities in and around Phuket Town. There are two weekend markets, a fresh market, walking tours, parks, sports facilities, a few local view points and plenty of natural scenery.
From Town, you can venture off to any one of Phuket beautiful beaches. Sun, sand and surf is definitely one of Phuket’s attractions.
