They had the opportunity to test their newly learnt Thai with the market vendors, practicing their full sentences and asking for items.

They took some time to practice their numbers and counting and they used the market signs to check their reading.  Kroo Joe and Kroo Lyn were on hand to answer any questions that came up.

Limestone cliffs, white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and endless miles of trackless forest to explore makes Phi Phi the perfect paradise island.

Snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking are the main order of the day with breathtaking coral and fascinating caves and rock formations to explore.  Of course, if you just want to relax and soak up the atmosphere, that’s ok too.  Take your pick from at least 5 or 6 stunning beaches, lay back and relax.

If you are taking your TEFL at Patong Language School or have just enrolled in one of our many language courses, why not think about spending some of your free time on Phi Phi, it’s well worth the trip.

Being only minutes away from the famous Patong Beach means you really can have the best of both worlds.  Learn a language in a new, modern school and spend your free time exploring Thailand’s most famous beach and the rest of our beautiful island.

Some of our students even manage to get a surfing session in at lunch time, now that’s dedication!

And you don’t have to be a student here to enjoy the delights that Bean & Gone have to offer!  If it’s an awakening espresso or a mouth-watering cupcake or a refreshing chilled smoothie that you’re after, look no further than Bean & Gone Coffee Shop at Patong Language School.  The atmosphere is relaxed, our prices are highly competitive and we are just a stones throw from the beach.*  Why not pop in the next time you are passing, it would be great to share a coffee with you.

*And we’re a pretty friendly bunch too!

Phuket is planning an extravagant celebration to ring in the new year with acrobats from Puyang, China and performances from several famous musicians.  There will also be four sets of firework displays to honour HM the King, HM the Queen and HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn.

The Year of the Dragon is particularly promising for Phuket as many people believe the topography of Phuket resembles that of a great Sea Dragon.  Tradition holds that this dragon, Hai Leng Ong, is duty-bound to protect Phuket and its visitors, sustaining life and prosperity in business.

We offer private Japanese lessons with a native speaking teacher, Monday to Friday between 9am and 7pm.

Contact us for more information, or pop into the school the next time you are passing.

Known as Wan Dek in Thai, Children’s Day is celebrated to give children the opportunity to have fun and to create awareness about their specific role towards the development of the country.  It has become custom for the Prime Minister to give a slogan for the day, with this years slogan being “Unity, knowledge, with wisdom, maintenance of Thainess and interest in technology”.

If you are lucky enough to be in Phuket or Thailand this coming Saturday, 14 January, you will notice lots of Thai families on outings with their children, with many government offices being opened for them to visit for free.

There is a Thai saying that states, “Children are the future of the nation, if the children are intelligent, the country will be prosperous.”

Over the next 2 weeks, these students will complete 15 lessons with Kroo Nim covering nouns and adjectives, possessive pronouns, verb to be, classifiers and much much more!

If you are interested in learning Thai whilst on holiday in Phuket, why not come into the school and see if we have a course that suits you.

Well done Elin, from all of us at Patong Language School.
