Betong English Speaking Club was founded 5 years ago to teach English conversion for free to anyone interested focusing mainly on shopkeepers at the local market once a week
From December 2013 we started a small learning center to teach to children and youth group by charging a small money to paid for rental fee and bills (Internet, water,electricity, cable TV etc.) We offer accommodation and three meals a a day with organic vegetables for our volunteers. Our center has Wifi internet, a Motorbike and 4 Bicycle that the volunteers can use for explore the local area or easy transportation to downtown.
The teaching will be at least 4 hours a day, 6 days (Wednesdays off) a week and a club weekly meeting to participate to get to know the local people and exchange the culture on Sunday afternoon and 1 class for market shopkeepers on Saturday afternoon , 14.00 - 16.00 PM.(free of charge ).
Betong town is a peaceful hill town. Despite the news reports about Thailand's Southern most provinces (Pattani, Naratiwat and Yala) Betong's geographical location keeps it safe and free of conflict. We are close to the border with Malaysia, Pangkalang Hulu (Perak state). Three hours by bus from Ipoh and 2.5 hours from Penang. The weather is cool with many local fruits and a multi-cultural population (Thai-Chinese and Malay ).
