If you are training with us at our Big C Rajdamri branch in Bangkok, there are many cheap good quality guest houses, hotels and hostels near the training centre. It is also usually possible to rent a simple one-room apartment for the month, if you allow yourself time to organize this. Once you have found work in Thailand, finding cheap accommodation is not difficult. In Bangkok there is, if anything, an oversupply of rented accommodation. Here the sky train and the underground (subway) have made a big difference to transport in the areas they cover but it is still more convenient to live near to where you will work.
You can usually find places by asking other teachers or just by walking around the are.
Accommodation while training
To help you get started, we've compiled a list of some of the accommodation available near our Big C Rajdamri training centre. The closest cheap accommodation to Big C Rajdamri can be found in the following areas: Soi Kasem San 1 and Rajchapraop Road. We've given you the street name in Thai to show to your taxi driver.
Address in English :
Soi Kasem San 1, Rama 1 Road, Patumwan, Bangkok 10330 (Opposite the National Stadium).
Address in Thai:
«Í à¡ÉÁ Êѹµì 1 ¶¹¹¾ÃÐÃÒÁ 1 »·ØÁÇѹ ¡Ãا෾ Ï 10330 (µÃ§¢éÒÁÈÙ¹Âì¡ÕÌÒáË觪ҵÔ)
There are several ways to get here from the airport. If money is no object, clearly signed limousine service counters are located in the arrival hall on the ground floor. The approximate price from the airport to downtown is 750 baht.
Only use authorized taxis. These can be found at the clearly signed public taxi stands immediately outside the arrival hall. Join the queue, tell the receptionist in the booth where you want to go and she will give you an invoice for the 50 baht airport surcharge which you should hand in to your driver at the end of the trip. The 'taxi meter' sign is clearly displayed on the top of the taxi (don't get into one which doesn't have this). When your journey begins, ensure that the driver has the meter turned on. If you use the expressway, the driver may ask you to give him the 30 – 70 baht for the toll. More probably, he will pay himself and add the cost to the sum on the meter, together with the 50 baht airport surcharge, at the end of your trip. The total cost to downtown should be less than 300 -500 baht. For your own safety, check to ensure your taxi has seat belts installed when you get in and then wear them.
Soi Kasem San 1 is adjacent to the National Stadium sky train station. Leaving the station by Exit 3 brings you out at the end of the Soi. A taxi from the airport will take you to the nearest sky train station at On Nuch.
None of the airport buses go to Siam Square, but if you take Airport Bus number 552 this will take you to On Nuch Skytrain station. Take the Skytrain to the National stadium (change at Siam Square) and you are about a 2-minute walk from the top end of Soi Kasem 1.
Getting to ECC Big C Rajdamri from Kasem San 1
Soi Kasem San 1 is a two to three minute walk to the Skytrain station at the National Stadium. Take the Skytrain to Siam Square. Get off at Siam Square and walk to the opposite side of the platform. Take the Skytrain one station to Chidlom Station. Get off the train at Chidlom and take exit number 1. Walk up to the Rachaprasong intersection and turn right. Keep walking up the road until you come to Big C (about 3-4 minutes). You’ll find the training centre on the fifth floor. Alternatively you can take the bus from the National Stadium to Central World (the old World Trade Centre). The following busses are available; 73 (air- conditioned) and 204 (non air-conditioned). |

If you are training with us at our Chiang Mai teacher training centre, there are
many cheap good quality guest houses, hotels and hostels near the training
centre. It is also possible to rent a simple one-room apartment for the month
if you allow yourself time to organize this.
Speak to the teachers at the centre, they'll certainly know some cheap places to
stay.
Getting to the Training Centre
To help you get started, we've compiled a list of some of the
accommodation available near our Chiang Mai centre. A lot of the accommodation
is within easy walking distance of the branch but some of is located in the
town centre. The address of the training centre is here in English and Thai:
ECC Chiang Mai, 15/73 Huey Kaew Road, Suthep, Muang, Chiang Mai 50200
ECC àªÕ§ãËÁè 15/73 ¶.ËéÇÂá¡éÇ µ.ÊØà·¾ Í.àÁ×ͧ ¨.àªÕ§ãËÁè 50200
There are a number of different ways to get to the training centre from the
airport. Limousine service counters are located outside the arrival hall on the
left. The approximate price from the airport to the training centre is 120
Baht.
The other option is to take a 'taxi meter'. These taxis can be found by turning
right outside the arrival hall and going out of the terminal building. There is
a desk clearly marked ‘taxi meter’. Tell them where you are going and they will
ask for the 50 Baht airport surcharge there and then. When you have paid that,
you will be directed to the taxis (usually blue and yellow). Flag fall is 40
baht (which gets you 2 kilometers) and then the price rises in 2 Baht
increments. To get to the school will cost about 120 Baht total.
If you know where you are going to be staying, you could arrange for an airport
pick-up to your hotel/guest house. This is usually free of charge!
As you leave the airport, you will very probably be approached by people
offering you unauthorized taxis. No matter how pleasant or persistent they are,
don't be tempted to use these! At the very least you will end up paying a great
deal more than you should and much worse things have been known to happen.
If you arrive by train, your transportation options are a ‘taxi meter’ (same as
above but no airport surcharge), a tuk-tuk or a songthaew (truck with benches
for seats). With both the tuk-tuk and the songthaew you will need to negotiate
the price of the journey. The trip to the training centre from the train
station will cost between 150-200 Baht depending on your negotiation skills!
If you arrive by bus, you have the same options as arriving by train. A
negotiated price in a tuk-tuk or songthaew could cost between 180-250 Baht.
Both the train and bus stations are some way from the training centre.
Accommodation
We have compiled a list of accommodation around town. Some of the places here
are in easy walking distance (5-15 minutes) of the training centre, while
others are located in the city centre. A songthaew on Huey Kaew Road (where the
training centre is located) to ECC should cost no more than 15-20 Baht. The
choice is yours but it is probably advisable to be as near to the training
centre as possible. The prices outlined here are subject to change.
You may be able to obtain better deals by negotiating the price. Prices are
sometimes lower during the off-peak season (16th April-31st October).

cheap good quality guest houses, hotels and hostels near the training centre.
It is also possible to rent a simple one-room apartment for the month if you

Getting to the Training Centre
To help you get started, we've compiled a list of some of the

There are a number of different ways to get to the training centre from the
airport. If money is no object, clearly signed limousine service counters are
located in the arrival hall on the ground floor. The approximate price from the
airport to Phuket City is 400 baht.
There is also a minibus service into town which costs 150 Baht. Ask the driver
to drop you off at the Tavorn Hotel. The training centre is directly opposite
this hotel. This can be a long journey as the minibus stops just before you get
to town and passengers are subjected to a sales pitch for hotels around Phuket.
The break in the journey can last up to an hour so, if you decide on this
route, keep calm and cool because you will eventually arrive at your
destination.
The other option is to take a 'taxi meter'. When you come out of the airport you
will see a sign saying 'Taxi Meter - 100 metres'. When you see this sign, look
across the car park and you'll see the taxis about 100 meters away. These taxis
come in a variety of colours (just like in Bangkok). When you get to the taxis
ask them to take you to the Tavorn Hotel, the training centre is opposite this
hotel. The price into town is the price shown on the meter plus a 100 Baht
airport surcharge. Check that the driver switches the meter on! For your own
safety, check to ensure your taxi has seat belts installed when you get in and
then wear them.
As you leave the airport, you will very probably be besieged by people offering
you unauthorized taxis. No matter how pleasant or persistent they are, don't be
tempted to use these! At the very least you will end up paying a great deal
