Welcome to the International House CELTA in Chiang Mai, the training centre that really is a little bit out of the ordinary!
Training at the latest IH Bangkok centre affords our CELTA trainees the unique opportunity of an all-inclusive , out-of-town, and altogether ‘Thai' experience.
Chosen for those of you who would like to complete the CELTA course in the most serene surroundings, the Nugent Waterside complex comprises of a purpose-built training facility with adjacent accommodation units with a number of sizeable balconies. The whole complex is situated alongside an expansive lake teeming with enormous catfish, and includes a dining area situated below a cafe overlooking the lake; which with its eclectic mix of fixtures and furniture is just the place to relax after a hard day's training.
Just 30 minutes' drive from downtown Chiang Mai, and a mere 2 kilometres from the local town of Hang Dong, the surrounds are known globally as the ‘culture-seekers Thai destination of choice'. Well regarded for its calming atmosphere and refreshing climate, this tranquil location is set against a dramatic backdrop of mountains which provide a ‘get away from it all' feel; just the tonic one would want when halfway through a CELTA course!
The Chiang Mai Xtra package
But what's really different about this location is that not only do you get to train here, you get to stay here too! The accommodation units have the type of rustic feel you'd expect when staying in the great outdoors, Thai style. Simply, but tastefully decorated, each self-contained unit offers a private bath / shower room.
The US$2,345 does not
only include training and accommodation however, it also
includes full-board catering 5 days a week. Trainee teachers
will thus be able to take the opportunity to sample the
delights of the local food (de-spiced for those that need
it!) on a daily basis, delivered to their door- well,
to the door of the dining area / common room at least.
And if you should get really desperate for a bit of home
cooking at the weekend; then all will be glad to know
that Pizza Hut can deliver even to here (we checked) and
then there's the complex cafe for light snacks too.
Of course, you are not obliged to stay, you can do the regular course and travel in each day, but you might just end up getting a bit jealous of those that do.
