Location
The TEFL International course in northern Thailand is held in Chiang Mai, which was once once the capital city of the Lan Na Kingdom and is now the capital of North Thailand. Chiang Mai was founded more than 700 years ago, and is one of the oldest cities in Thailand; it’s recognized as having an independent cultural personality of its own. The Thai people love their beloved northern capital: a quaint, walled and moated city surrounded by a beautiful landscape, stemming from the foothills of the Himalayas, of mountains, rivers, forests, waterfalls, meadows and valleys. As a location, Chiang Mai offers a unique experience for TEFL International TEFL Courses in Thailand.
Many feel that Chiang Mai is an essential part of any visit to Thailand. Located more than 700km northwest of Bangkok, Chiang Mai has more than 300 temples, some of which date back over 500 years, of which an impressive 121 are within the municipal boundary. This is close to the total number in Bangkok, and makes the old city centre of Chiang Mai visually striking. The historical architecture of Chiang Mai has evidence of Lan Na, Thai, Mon, Sri Lankan and Burmese influences, with ornate woodcarvings decorating most temples. These include the magnificent Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, built in 1383 at an altitude of 1300 meters above the city, Wat Pra Singh, possibly the cities most famous temple and constructed between 1385-1400 and Wat Chiang Mun, its oldest temple, said to date from the founding year of the city (1292). Chiang Mai is also an exciting, modern city, which has successfully managed to blend its unique cultural identity with an increasingly modern side.
