On our Ruby Program, you get to explore the historical roots of Southeast Asia.
We hang out in old Saigon, and spend two weeks of your TEFL course studying under the TESOL expertise of training specialist Ms. Duong Tran Thy Diem at TEFL International Vietnam
While there, you can explore the historical Chinese - Vietnamese food influences in Cholon, tour French Colonial architecture and visit the Vietnamese War Museum.
You then spend 2 weeks in Thailand (Bangkok) for your teaching practicum & orientation for starting your guaranteed job placement.

While here in Thailand, you'll train and practice teaching with Thai students. In Ho Chi Minh City, you'll do the same with Vietnamese learners.

Kayaking Tour
of Prehistoric Krabi
Take a kayaking tour through the dense mangrove forests of Ban Bor Thor where you can paddle to ancient caves like Phi Hua To. The caves contain fascinating prehistoric paintings, some dating back thousands of years. Then we travel to Wat Khlong Thom Museum and have lunch: this archaeological museum displays a variety of artefacts, providing a deeper understanding of the area's history. In the afternoon, we take a minivan back to Krabi town to explore the iconic twin limestone mountains of Khao Khanab Nam, a famous symbol of Krabi. A short longtail boat ride takes us to a cave that is home to ancient human skeletons and impressive stalagmites. We end to the day with dinner & shopping for traditional crafts at the Krabi Night Market.
