TESOL course - general location information

Chiang Mai is a beautiful city situated in the north of Thailand. It is a city famed for its beauty and the beauty of its women and has a proud and unique culture and history. Chiang Mai combined both the old and the new and it’s not unusual to see centuries-old chedis and temples located alongside modern hotels and shopping centers. The layout of the city is in a perfect square surrounded by a moat. There are still remains of the old fortified wall and its gates which gives access into the old town.

Chiang Mai has become a very popular tourist destination in Thailand due to the cooler climate, beautiful scenery with many trekking options, flower festivals and the varied ethnic hill tribes. The old city of Chiang Mai very much has its own cultural identity with unique dialects, costumes, dances and handicrafts. This together with the presence of the hill tribes and their unique cultures combine to make Chiang Mai a very culturally diverse city.

The area surrounding Chiang Mai is noted for its great natural beauty with mountains, waterfalls and pristine forests. At the same time, Chiang Mai residents are warm, gracious and congenial providing authentic hospitality making visits memorable and meaningful. All of this makes Chiang Mai an ideal location for your TESOL course and a truly memorable 4 weeks.
