Accommodation
All our interns doing Sailing coaching placements in Thailand live in comfortable staff accommodation.
You will live at the “boarding village” – a lovely accommodation complex, surrounded by landscaped gardens, for all staff living on site at the international boarding school.
Food is provided at the staff canteen during term times and you are given a food allowance during school holidays. This gives you the choice of buying and cooking your own meals or eating out in local restaurants.
It’s a good accommodation set-up and even your laundry is done for you!
Orientations & Staff support
You’ll be met on arrival at the airport and taken to your accommodation. You’ll normally arrive on a Friday so you have the weekend to relax, unpack and start exploring the local area. You’ll receive assistance to buy a local SIM card, connect to wifi and to make sure you feel at home.
On Monday you’ll be met by one of your friendly work colleagues who will give you a thorough orientation and answer all your questions.
We’ll be in touch with you frequently to check how you’re getting on and we’re on hand 24/7 for emergencies.
