Where will you be staying during your Island TEFL training course?
With our training center located in the heart of the city and within easy
walking distance of the BTS “Sky Train” and the underground MRT, your
accommodation choices are almost unlimited. To help in the selection of the
accommodation that suits you best, however, you may want to consider the
following:
Island TEFL Bangkok’s training center is located in the Silom area of downtown
Bangkok, just a 5-minute walk from the Sala Daeng BTS and Silom MRT stations.
Just a few short stops up the line are Siam Square and National Stadium, both of
which offer countless restaurants as well as a wide range of shopping,
entertainment and tourist activities.
A number of the reasonably priced hotels in that area are located just minutes
from the BTS. Some of those hotels are:
A-One Inn offers a single room rate of 900 baht with a two-bed twin room rate of
1,200 baht. A 10-night stay results in a 15% discount. The hotel has a website
with more information (including photos) that can be found at
www.aoneinn.com.
Another hotel on the same short street is Muangphol Mansion. It offers a twin
room that can be shared by two people for a rate of 1,000 baht a night. The
hotel offers a 10% discount per week, reducing the room rate to 450 baht per
night for two people. The hotel has a website with more information (including
photos) that can be found at
www.muangpholmansion.com.
A third option on the same street is Wendy House. Although the current twin room
rate is 1,200 baht per night, a 20% discount is offered for a two-week stay. For
two people, your rate per person is 480 baht per night. The hotel has a website
with more information (including photos) that can be found at

Yet another choice on the same street is White Lodge. The room rates listed for
a single were 650 baht per day with a weekly discount of 3%, a semi-monthly
discount of 5% and a monthly discount of 10%. A twin room with two beds had a
daily rate of 800 baht with the same percentage discounts and a triple room had
