British International School - Phuket

3.5 days of work here in Phuket .
.. all at The British International School ...


Maybe teachers training in the UK should consider moving abroad??


Open since the early 90's and owned by an enterprising Thai businessman in Bangkok {he has another in Bangkok, and a University too}





Aerial photo spotted on the wall {you can see the fountain in the 1/2 circle - we're working just inside and to the right}













My 'office' for 3.5 days



Even the Gents Loos are tasteful !!

The Boat Lagoon Hotel Pool and surrounds by daylight

When I woke to the daylight today, this is what I found I and around the hotel ...  

as well as 90+% humidity and 33+C temperatures ... those UK Chinos were NOT a good idea :-)


So THAT'S why they call it the Boat Lagoon!



My room over there at the back somewhere - A few laps in there every day can't hurt, now can it??






More boats and the approach road to the hotel - these are the typical minibus taxis









Main restaurant/Bar/eating area



Did I ever mention I LOVE my job??? {sorry :-)  }

First night by the pool - late arrival in Phuket after very loooong journey from South Africa

Johannesburg - Dubai (3 hour layover) - Bangkok (4 hour layover) - Phuket ... 24 hours of travelling, 5 hours gained and verrry tired on arrival .... but look at the compensations:-
