Patong Language School is Phuket’s largest and leading language school. We have trained tens of thousands of students in new languages, and offer advantages that other local language schools simply can’t provide: a developed language learning system, customized study materials, experienced and qualified native teachers, comfortably air-conditioned classrooms, and we are right next to the beach!
In 1983 Patong Language School was the first language school to be granted a private school license to operate in Phuket. Many schools have come and gone in this time, but Patong Language School remains the leader in the field. We have helped more students learn a language and improve their communication skills than any other language school on the island.
Patong Language School is the only private school in Thailand to pass the Office of Private Education (OPEC) quality assurance audit – your guarantee of top quality tuition.
The nationality and age mix at Patong Language School varies over different time periods, courses and levels.
Our school is located in Patong Beach, Phuket. You'll find everything you need within walking distance of the school - accommodation, restaurants, internet cafes, post office, shops and much more. To make things even better, we are just a couple of minutes walk from the fantastic white sands of Patong beach.
Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and is lined with a series of bays of white sand beaches between rocky points. This makes for a series of relatively intimate beaches rather than one long unbroken stretch of sand lined with high rise hotels and packed with people. As a developed resort destination, Phuket has a wide variety of sun and surf activities so there’s something here for everyone.
Patong is Phuket’s most famous beach resort. With an incredible mix of activities and super nightlife, it is the ideal place to party and play. By night the town has an incredible nightlife, which includes hundreds of restaurants, lounges and beer bars, and of course discos. The nightlife centers around Bangla Road, but there are quieter parts of town.
We don’t believe there’s a better location for a language course anywhere in the world. Come and see for yourself!
We had a great time at the school. Very friendly staff, excellent teachers (we had two different ones because we could change levels).
It was simply brilliant and a valuable experience. We'll miss this time.
Thanks a lot for your review! We're so glad you had a great time.
It really means a lot to us!
Small group, dedicated teacher, in new location in new buidling since a couple of weeks. I don’t know if their was any social activities except lessons- didnt notice that.

Здравствуйте!)
Мой опыт обучения в этой школе.
Я была в шоке от преподавателя.
В плохом смысле слова.
К самой школе претензий нет.
На ресепшн все были милы, приветливы, ответили на все вопросы, и всегда помогали по мере наступления вопросов.
Тем больше было мое удивление на уроке!
Уже с первого дня я обнаружила некомфортную обстановку в классе: ощущение, что преподаватель отсиживает свои часы, и мы его утомляем.
Преподаватель постоянно в телефоне, все время смотрит, когда же закончится урок? заканчивает занятие на несколько минут раньше, до звонка.
Не поддерживает разговор во время урока, делает вид, что не услышал тебя, не поправляет, не исправляет ошибки.
Начинает отчитывать, и с ним невозможно вступить в диалог, он использует свое превосходство в знании языка. Никогда не использовал доску, мне приходилось уточнять слово, показывая из своей тетрадки.
Очень грубый, грубо разговаривает. Очень часто употребляет слово stupid, в том числе и по поводу учебника, по которому мы занимаемся. Зачем нам эта информация? И другие, плохие слова.
Не разрешает пользоваться кондиционером и светом в классе. Однажды наехал на одногруппницу, когда она включила свет. Он был очень груб с ней.
Совершенно не готовился к урокам, когда открывал учебник, запинался, читая задание. Ощущение, что в первый раз видел учебник.
По утрам был постоянно сонный, несобранный, зевал. Настроение резко менялось. Он сказал, что у него диабет 1 типа, связываю это с его заболеванием.
Если честно, после 2 дней занятий, я шла на учебу с тяжелым сердцем.
Я уже проходила курсы в другой школе за границей, и видела вовлеченность преподавателя, которую здесь совершенно не увидела. Т.к. наш преподаватель имел PhD, и сказал, что больше ни у кого в этой школе этой степени нет, я была очень удивлена его преподаванием.
Надеюсь, что у других он преподает по другому.
Я столкнулась с этим!
Мы расстроены данным отзывом и приняли меры сразу же. Учитель, упомянутый в отзыве, больше не работает в Языковой школе Патонг.
Мы сожалеем, что данный учитель потенциально испортил репутацию всех наших учителей и школы в целом. Мы хотели бы заверить каждого, кто читает этот отзыв, что это не представляет наши стандарты или наши цели. Языковая школа Патонг предоставляет языковые услуги уже 40 лет, и в это время мы трудоустроили много учителей английского, некоторые выдающиеся, средние, а также те, кто не соответствует нашим стандартам, как в этом случае.
Мы приносим искренние извинения этому студенту, чье время в школе было испорчено данным учителем. Мы надеемся, что однажды мы будем иметь возможность видеть Вас снова на Пхукете и исправить нашу ошибку.
I did the five day course, I found it to be very informative, teachers were very well versed in knew what they were doing. I would highly recommend anybody wanting to learn the language to give it ago.

So, first of all I'ld like to say "Thanks a lot everyone for this unforgettable experience!" My teacher was Oliver and hi is really amazing, professional, friendly and patient person. His classes were filled knowledge, practical tasks and humor. He paid attention to every student. Every day we practiced our listening, speaking, reading skills. My English level has definitely improved, especially my speaking skills. Because the teacher manages to create an easy and relaxed atmosphere in the classroom.
I will definitely come back to this school next time!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the review - we're glad you enjoyed your time with us. It's really appreciated!
This class was a last minute add for us during out time in Phuket and we're so happy we did it! 10/10 would learn again. Our class was nice and small, so we had a lot more practice time in class. Our teacher was GREAT!! Loved her. She went above and beyond the material and answered all of our many questions. I really enjoyed how many examples she gave so we could understand things more in depth and not just reading the textbook.
Location was pretty great as well! We didn't stay in the area, but since it was so close to the beach it meant a morning in class and afternoon reviewing on the beach. Classroom was nicely sized for our group, with a well working AC unit.
Thanks for the 5-star review - we're glad you enjoyed your time with us.
It's really appreciated!
The organization of the school was very good. The location was fine, also the school facilities.
I liked the first 2 hours of the lessons (speak), the teacher did a good job. She asked the students questions on their own level, so she makes you confident in given the answers.
I found The second part of the lessons a bit disappointment (read &write), the lessons were a bit boring, for example for learning the tones, the book gave examples of words you never gonna use, I think it would be more nice, to learn to write the words you learned in the previous lessons.
I find it hard to answer the questions, for example: would you recommend the school to other people, a bit mixed feelings…
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
When you made your booking, we advised (before confirming the booking) that you would be joining the fourth and final week of a Level 1, 4-week, Thai Intensive Course. You said that this would not be a problem, as you are not a complete beginner.
From your review, it appears that this did become a problem, as you were unable to fully participaqte in the read and write Thai classes.
To avoid similar problems for future students, we will no longer accept bookings that do not coincide with the course start date.
We wish you continued success in your Thai studies and thank you again for choosing Patong Language School.
I liked everything and can just recommend PLS school for all people who want to learn language.
Very efficient method to acquire the basics of the Thai language in a short time

Her English is perfect, clean and classic. she teaches with love, patience and I learned by laughing a lot because she is very funny. Thank’s Em ang Patong school for learning

A great, friendly classroom with students from all over the world. The young students have senior fully accepted me. The teacher, Charlotte Kings has excellent teaching material and interesting mediated. The classrooms and their equipment are good and practical. In addition to the lessons we had no social activities, but this is not a problem and I did not expect it. The Hotel Hillside was not particularly well organized or connected to the school. I can't understand why this hotel, which is 3 kilometers away from the school.

I am very satisfied. The school is located in a very quiet residential area. Inside there are many services: bar, free Wi-Fi, sale of notebooks, pens, bags, books. The staff is very helpful. They helped me always. I was lucky because we were the only two in the classroom. The teacher explained very well the arguments, let the time for my questions and always made it clear my doubts. In addition to traditional exercises and explaining the content, I can say that the teacher interacted a lot with me though, I honestly would have liked to interact even more. I'm sorry I did only 2 weeks. I will definitely return to finish the form of 4 weeks. 2 are missing! Finally, I thank Sarah Bunker advised me that the course suited my needs!
