Pattaya – The Extreme City



Located off the Gulf of Thailand, approximately 145 km south of Bangkok, Pattaya is Asia’s premier beach resort. As a tourist destination, Pattaya is known throughout the world as Thailand’s capital of fun. Offering wild nightlife, beach activities, extensive sport facilities, lush botanical gardens and tropical islands with golden sandy beaches., it provides a holiday destination second to none.

For centuries, Pattaya was a small fishing village. But a change occurred in April 1961, when the first group of about 100 American servicemen, who were fighting in the Vietnam War, arrived in Pattaya for relaxation. From this beginning, Pattaya became a popular beach resort which now attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists. Today, Pattaya is a cosmopolitan city, swarming with visitors looking to have the time of their life.

Pattaya has a tropical wet and dry climate, which is divided into the following seasons: warm and dry (November to February), hot and humid (March to May), and hot and rainy (June to October).

The local Thais are extremely friendly, outgoing and tolerant; their culture maintains values that, unfortunately, seem to have all but disappeared in the Western World. Religion and the Thai Monarchy are held in very high esteem, family values are of the utmost importance, and older people are treated with the greatest respect.

The Thais have an exceptionally high opinion of Teachers too. It is said in Thailand that, once you are someone’s teacher, you are their teacher for life. So, as a member of the teaching profession, you will always be assured of a warm welcome in Pattaya, and indeed, throughout all of Thailand.

As Pattaya and Thailand’s economic growth increases, so does the demand for English Language teachers in the city and throughout the country. The very low cost of living in Thailand allows TEFL teachers to live a comfortable lifestyle on a teacher's salary.
