Koh Chang
The Island of Koh Chang
The TEFL training venue for the VTP will be on Koh Chang - a beautiful island only 5 hours south of Bangkok.
Koh Chang is the 3rd largest island in Thailand, and can be literally translated as Elephant Island. Not surprisingly then, you will find lots of elephants on the island. On a map, the island also looks like the head of an elephant. It lies 5.5 hrs drive south-southeast of Bangkok.
Although the island is Thailand's 3rd largest and you would expect it to be similar to the islands of Koh Samui or Phuket in terms of development and tourism, this is not the case with Koh Chang. It remains a lot more peaceful and less developed than these other islands, with some beaches still half-deserted. Saying this, there is lots to do and should you wish to visit tremendous waterfalls, go hill trekking or elephant trekking, rent a canoe, go diving or snorkeling or visit a spa. Or maybe just relax near the sea with a nice cold drink and breathe in the beauty.
Why We Chose Koh Chang
We have chosen to have the TEFL training on Koh Chang because on one hand you can relax and on the other hand you can party, but also because of the option to do other activities.
The beaches on Koh Chang are beautiful. The water is clear, calm and shallow. If you want a chance to truly relax in the evening and at the weekends while during the day you embark on becoming the TEFL teacher you dream of becoming, then our TEFL Heaven course on Koh Chang offers you that and more. Nine nights on Koh Chang and you may never want to leave!
